IN SUPPORT OF THE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE SOUTHWEST

A supported, self navigated marathon along 26 miles of stunning North Cornish Coast Path all the way from famous Posh Rock on the Camel Estuary, to the pretty fishing village of Boscastle. You'll pass through pretty coves, tackle ALL the elevation & enjoy stunning views along the way!

Your finish point is beautiful The Wellington Hotel in Boscastle.

Here you will find a delicious menu on offer & the bar will be open to quench that post-race thirst!

Supporters most definitely welcome!

We will have 3 checkpoints along the route for you where our smiley, happy staff will welcome you in & ensure you are fully stocked with fluids as well as salt, sugar & savoury snacks.

Each checkpoint will have it's own cut-off time & the event overall has a cut-off time of 9 hours.

There is an optional extra minibus transfer back to Rock from the finish, please book this option when you enter the event.
