Organiser's Description
This tough, 21 mile, ‘find your own way’ run follows the South West Coastal Path. Okay... so it's not a 17mile course - but it is 17 miles as the crow flies! It's well marked, so if you keep your eyes open, navigation should be fairly easy. There's a short sharp climb near the start in Countisbury, followed by undulating tracks through coastal woodland, open fields, another track, then a road, then the long climb to Selworthy Beacon which will take every ache in your body and double it - you need to be both physically and mentally tough for this little hill - more undulations, then it's downhill to the finish in Minehead. This is one of the most beautiful (and hilly) stretches of Coast path in the country.
