This breathtaking 25-mile route takes in high cliffs, brooding moorland, picture-perfect beaches, crashing waves, big swells, rough-hewn rocks, water jumps, short swims and a few cheeky surprises.
It's an utterly unique event where coasteering meets running! Bring your family, bring your mates. Stay for a while and experience Cornwall in the height of summer. With a stunning start line at Marazion Beach, the route will weave its way coast to coast from one side of the Cornish peninsula to the other, taking in a course that is exciting beyond belief.
Be prepared for a long day on your feet. You should be able to comfortably complete a half marathon and be used to off-road terrain, whether that’s hiking or running but this event is not designed solely for whippet-y fell runners. It is a unique proposition. You'll need good footwear and the right clothing for if the weather turns. It is summer but it can get windy and the sea air can take it out of you too. This is a step-up for 10K road runners but it has been designed to be achievable.
This is a running event, not a swimming event, and you will certainly get wet. When it is full immersion the team will issue buoyancy aids and have water safety staff on standby. In order to complete the event fully, you must be able to swim. But all of the water sections are short and can be bypassed if you wish. This is not a ‘swim-run’ event where you are transferring from land to water on a regular basis. Wetsuits are not required as this is predominantly a running event with short (and fun) water sections interspersed.
It's fully way-marked to make navigation easy so you won't need a map and compass. This allows you to fully concentrate on the challenge.
A comprehensive kit list will be available.
Supporters are welcome and there will be ample opportunity for them to see you in action on course. Please ensure your supporters have read all the event information and that they follow advice to help maintain a safe environment for everyone. Cornwall is an amazing destination in the summer and you are encouraged to make a trip of it with family or friends!

The bus will leave Land’s End Saturday morning at 7am and 8am.

It's one of my all time favourites, such a wild adventure! Also a great excuse for a holiday down in Cornwall! Well worth the trip and an adventure of a lifetime! Zoe Attenborough
The route was well marked, the volunteers were excellent and the scenery was stunning. Andrew Broadhurst
I had the best experience. I never thought I'd get as far as checkpoint 2 let alone complete the whole thing and all the activities. I really felt empowered and on top of the world with my achievement. Despite some of the "big" activities having to change due to sea conditions etc and me being near the back of the pack the martials etc made the adapted activities fun, daft and enjoyable. Liz Gurney
