A large group of runners gathers near a building with a tiled roof, preparing for a race. Some runners wear bright athletic clothing and backpacks, while others have hats and hydration gear. A few individuals stand near a van, engaging with the crowd. The sky is overcast.

Organiser's Description

Welcome to one of Cornwall's toughest marathons.

But are you tough enough to do it again?

Let me explain

This marathon throws it all at you for 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,
with 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
