No reviews of the Classic Quarter, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for
Lizard Point to Land's End along the south Cornish coast — the southernmost point of England to the westernmost tip, ninety degrees of the compass, which is where the name comes from. Forty-four miles of the South West Coast Path with 5,531 ft of climb in innumerable short steep pulls and drops. Waymarked the whole way, so there is no navigation to think about, only the ground. Rock, mud and trail, high above the Atlantic and exposed to whatever the day brings. Solo, or as a pair or a four sharing the same route.
