02/02/2026 12:00North Cornwall 2027 Event Launched

We are delighted to launch today the 2027 event. This will be the 5th installment of this event and it is fast becoming a firm favourite in the trail running community!
This event is part of the Endurancelife 26-27 trail running season (September 2026 till July 2027). Runners who complete any distance category at this event will be awarded points and will be listed in the Season Leader Board. Points are awarded based on performance and can contribute to a participant's overall season score. Good luck! Read more here.

This challenge is based out of easy-going Polzeath on the rugged North Cornwall coast. The event begins on the village's golden beach and heads north eastwards across miles of unspoilt coastline. Whilst undoubtedly beautiful the courses still pack a punch with some significant elevation gain. Runners will experience the stunning Pentire Peninsula, pass through peaceful fishing villages and picturesque valleys before arriving back to the safe haven of Polzeath. With the wild and dramatic Atlantic Sea as a backdrop this is a spectacular setting for a trail running adventure.

This event will be part of the Season Leaderboard!
