What you’re in for
Starts on the beach at Polzeath and heads north-east along miles of undeveloped North Cornwall coast, round the Pentire Peninsula, through fishing villages and quiet valleys and back to Polzeath. Severe terrain — trail, sand, rock and grass — and a lot of climbing for the distance: 5,767 ft on the marathon and 6,558 ft on the 31-mile ultra, with the Atlantic alongside the whole way. Fully marked, no navigation.
