Gecko Gathering - Harlyn 2026
Gecko Gathering - Harlyn is a coastal running event in Cornwall that stages a half marathon and a shorter coastal run between Harlyn Beach and Padstow. The event follows the South West Coast Path (SWCP) on point-to-point and out-and-back formats, with registration handled at Harlyn or at Padstow Rowing Club depending on the chosen distance.
The event lists the following distances:
- 10.5 km Padstow to Harlyn on the SWCP, finishing at Harlyn.
- 21.1 km Harlyn to Padstow and return following the SWCP.
Features noted for participants include free race photography, personalised bibs, a medal for every competitor, and awards for top finishers. There is no cut off time for any distance. Timing is provided via the ST App Service; there will be no chip timing for this event.
The event supports Padstow Rowing Club through optional donations at entry. The club is fundraising for restoration work on Dasher, a boat built in 1989 that requires repair to return to sea-worthy condition.
Organised by Purple Gecko Events, the event takes place in Harlyn Beach, Cornwall. Registration closes 10 July 2026. Entry fees vary by distance and by booking period, with published prices ranging from £24 to £36 plus fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
