Hi Debra,

Yes I have and I loved it. If you know the Cornish coast path you'll have a good idea of what it's like! I'm not a fast runner and I made the cut off times ok. And it was only my 2nd ultra.

If you don't know the coast path just expect lots of up and down with lots of granite in the way! And a long flat bit when you hit Mount's Bay. (Beware the headwind!) There's a good video on youtube that someone uploaded last year.

Hope that helps! ?

do you know when the race is next year? I'm interested in entering but wasn't sure if it was on as they seem to be doing the UTSW instead which I think is on the same route.

I believe they're going to run them on the same day - so you get a choice of 44, 60 or 100 miles.

Nice! Think I'll wimp out and just do the 44!
