Carne's Full Moon Beach Run

The 14th edition of Carns Full Moon Beach Run will now take place on Wednesday, 23 December 2026 when the stars, full moon and low tide combine perfectly once again. Chain Gang Events in partnership with Wilderness NSRI, the events official charity, want to help you tick this one off your bucket list, and run on whats been described as the best stretch of beach in the country! Starting at Swartvlei Beach, the 21km runners will pass Gerickes Point, the rocky landmark resembling a lions head. Thereafter enjoy kilometers of mixed sand and rock shelves with the warm Benguela current on your left and the fossilised sandstone dunes towering above you on your right. Passing Kleinkranz village (the 7km Runners starting point) and a mid-run refreshment stop, runners then reach Flat Rock and a few more kilometers of sand running to the finish at Wilderness NSRI.
