No reviews of the Atlantic Coast Challenge, 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
Three marathons in three days down the north Cornwall coast on the South West Coast Path, Padstow to Land's End, from a base at St Ives Bay Holiday Park. Day one and two are 42.2km, day three 44.3km. Early October. You can enter a single day or all three.
Terrain and trail
The north Cornwall coast path: cliff steps, headlands, beaches at low tide and dune, with the climbing in hundreds of short pulls rather than one hill. Wind off the Atlantic. Self-navigated on the coast path's own waymarks. A trail shoe with grip.
