Event overview

What? again? You are mad? Let me explain. This marathon throws it all at you. A typical Cornish. Autumn, so expect mud, water and most likely rain. There are rocks, sand, and tarmac. But, we don't stop there. There are big climbs and dunes, nearly 4000 feet of height gain! Finished Oh no, we've not! This race has a very generous cut off but that means finishing in the dark. Yes, the final obstacle is to beat the light on the lighthouse. BACK AGAIN for 2026 The Lighthouse Ultra 35 miles and over 6000 feet of gain. Taking in 3 Lighthouses. Longships, Pendeen and Godrevy. More mud, more rocks and more fun! Limited to 70 runners.

This event is part of Lighthouse Marathon & Ultra.

Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
