TSUNAMI OCEAN TRAILS

Poster featuring a massive ocean wave with the text "TSUNAMI" at the top. Below, it reads "OCEAN TRAILS" in a smaller font, and at the bottom, it says "BUDE - CORNWALL". The text is designed to blend with the wave graphic.

A panoramic view of a rocky coastline at sunset. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow on the water. The scene features rugged cliffs and a tide pool in the foreground, creating a serene and picturesque landscape.

Three wooden plaques showcasing awards from OuterEdge Events are displayed side by side: "Tsunami Ultra 1st Female 2023," "Tsunami Marathon 1st Male 2023," and "Tsunami Sixteen 1st Male 2023." The plaques feature a wave design and the event locations.

Course Details

We’ve chosen the most rugged, wild and remote section of the North Devon and Cornish coastline for some extreme fun

along the clifftops and cliff trails between Westward Ho! and Bude (Ultra-Marathon, 37 miles), Clovelly and Bude (Marathon),

Hartland Quay and Bude (16 miles)

We’ve procured the iconic Clovelly harbour for the start of the Marathon…uphill on the cobblestones through the

village to reach the Coast Path and finish on the lawns of Castle Bude – taking in almost 2,000m of ascent along the route.

It’s a tidal wave of endurance trail running.

The Ultra adds another 11 miles of serious fun, while the sixteen includes the toughest, most vertiginous section from Hartland Quay.

These races are undoubtedly some of the toughest trail running challenges in the South-West. Due to the nature of the terrain –

wild and isolated (no towns or villages along the route), they will also prove to be the most rewarding.
