Welcome and Hello

Well, whats 'appening down west?

Let me tell you.......

This new race in the far west of Cornwall combines the technical beauty of the coast path]

with the enduring and stunning inland footpaths

When you leave the coast (up a few steps!), you step 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 sees you back on 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 on Sunday11th July 2027
