Welcome and Hello
Well, whats 'appening down west?
Let me tell you.......
This new race is set in the far west of Cornwall combining the technical beauty of the coast path
with the enduring and stunning inland footpaths
When you leave the coast (up a few steps!), you run back in time to the farmlands of
west Cornwall and the sea is soon forgotten.
But not for long, 5 miles of the countryside soon brings you back in sight of the ocean
World famous Nanjizal welcomes you onto the coast path and the last 1 1/2 miles
to the finish line
Thank you to all the businesses that support us and all the volunteers. These events would never happen without you
See you all at the Lands End
