St. Annes Carnival 5k and St. Annes Carnival Junior 1500m
Returning to its Traditional Date the second Sunday in July - the St Annes Carnival 5k took place on 13h July 2025.
In 2007, the St Annes Carnival 5K was created along with its subsidiary the St Annes Carnival Junior 1500m. Both races are over an accurately measured and certified distance and we are proud to bring them back as part of the St Annes Carnival day.
The race routes look to showcase the very best that St Annes-on-the-Sea has to offer - to tourists and locals, alike!
St. Annes Carnival 5k
The adults 5k race starts at 11.00am on the prom close to the Beach Café. Heading towards Fairhaven lake, the route is traffic free on open well-used pavements, marshalled throughout and distance marked along the route. A special momento awaits all finishers, along with prizes for the first females and males.
St Annes Carnival 1500m Race
The Junior race is also flat and fast. This 1.5k race is designed for a fast time, or for a first time racer. Starting at 10.00am, and sharing its start/finish point with the adult race, the route is fully marshalled. Medals and momentos await each finisher.
Race HQ
Race HQ is at the Beach Café, just a couple of minutes from the start and finish of the Junior Race and 5 minutes walk from the start of the 5K race.
