Run Mawnan 5k

Run Mawnan 5k starts and finishes at Carwinion Playing Field in the pretty Cornish coastal village of Mawnan Smith. The route heads down into the village past the famous Red Lion pub, then follows quiet country roads out towards Trebah Gardens, taking in glimpses of the North Helford river along the way. At the turning for Helford Passage, 5k runners turn back and retrace the route to the village and the playing field finish. The course is entirely on tarmac country roads, gently undulating rather than flat, reflecting the rolling character of this stretch of Cornish coastline. Run by Falmouth Rotary as a family fundraiser, the event combines a serious road race with a genuine village atmosphere, alongside a children's fun run and family activities back at the playing field. It's a scenic, sociable introduction to racing in one of Cornwall's most attractive villages.
