A new edition to the Atlantic Coast Challenge family of events. The route starts at Fistral Beach in Newquay and follows the coast all the way down to Hayle River Mouth and finishes at St Ives Bay Holiday Park.

Votwo has teamed up with Geo Tracks – this system provides runners with a personal GPS tracker and navigation mobile phone app. This allows them to accurately navigate the course and receive real-time positions of the other participants and themselves.

All finishers receive a bespoke event T-shirt and medal. Transport is provided from the event HQ to the start point and for retirees.
