Ocean MINI Celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the CMC MINI Riviera Run 2025
From 3rd to 5th May 2025, Ocean MINI proudly took part in the 30th Anniversary of the CMC MINI Riviera Run, an iconic celebration of all things MINI on the stunning English Riviera.
Three decades of celebrating MINI culture, community, and the joy of the open road, this milestone event brought together classic and modern MINI enthusiasts from across the UK for a weekend of scenic drives, vibrant displays, and community spirit. The Riviera Run 2025 was a true tribute to the legacy and future of the MINI brand.
It was a fantastic opportunity for Ocean MINI to connect with fellow MINI lovers, showcase our latest models, and celebrate the enduring charm of this much-loved motoring icon.
As part of the weekend’s festivities, Ocean MINI also hosted a fun-filled colouring competition for younger MINI fans. Held at our stand throughout the event, the activity gave children the chance to get creative with MINI-themed artwork while parents explored the latest models.
The competition was a big hit with families, and we were thrilled to see so many brilliant, colourful entries. Winners received MINI-themed prizes, and their artwork was proudly displayed for all to see—thank you to everyone who took part!
On Bank Holiday Monday, Ocean MINI joined forces with Clean Cornwall for a beach clean at Pentewan Sands, rounding off the Riviera Run weekend with a positive impact on the local environment. Families, including many enthusiastic young helpers, rolled up their sleeves to collect litter and help protect this beautiful stretch of coastline.
It was fantastic to see children getting involved and learning about the importance of keeping our beaches clean. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make a real difference!
One of the unexpected highlights of the weekend was meeting a band of friendly Vikings who made a surprise appearance at the show! Dressed in full traditional gear, they brought a unique touch of history and entertainment to the event—posing for photos, chatting with visitors, and even joining in some of the fun. It was a brilliant addition that added even more character to an already unforgettable weekend.
The 30th Anniversary of the CMC MINI Riviera Run was a fantastic celebration of community, creativity, and care for our environment—and Ocean MINI was proud to be part of it all. From meeting fellow MINI enthusiasts to hosting family-friendly activities and supporting a cleaner coastline, it was a weekend to remember.
Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait to see you again next year!
