Tick it off

Every segment is a real outing you can run in a morning or a day. Mark them as you go and the strip above fills in.

Share your thoughts

Where to park, which crossing works at which tide, what the ground is really like. 46 so far and every one read by a human before it goes up.

Then the rest of England

Cornwall first because that is what we know. 8 more regions to come, all the way round to the Tamar and beyond.

Take part properly

Join in, and your coast comes with you.

The tracker works right now with no account at all — but your ticks live in this browser only. Put your name down and you get an account the moment they exist, so your progress follows you between your phone and your laptop, and you can see what your mates have run.

One email a month or so: new coastal events, routes worth the drive, and the odd honest kit review. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.

Who this is for

Four miles count just as much as forty.

Whether you run, walk or do a bit of both, every mile along the Cornish coast counts. Choose a section, track the ground you have covered and gradually join the whole route together, at your own pace and in your own time.

Explore coastal races and events, discover new routes and, coming soon, find practical tips and recommendations from the people and businesses that know the coast best.

Coverack to Porthtowan, Cornwall

The one everybody has heard of, and the reason a lot of people find the Cornish coast path in the first place. The 100-miler goes point to point from Coverack round to Porthtowan — 173km and 5,507m of climbing, most of it in the dark, in January. Shorter races follow over the weekend: 100K on the Saturday, then 50K and 20K on the Sunday. It has run since 2015 and grown from fifty starters to one of the biggest trail events in the country.

St Just to St Ives, Cornwall

Eighteen miles point to point from the miners’ chapel at St Just to St Ives, over what is arguably the hardest and best stretch of the whole coast path. Muddy fields, rocky headlands, bog and a climb round most corners. The Ultra Jack doubles it — out from St Ives to Cape Cornwall and back, 35 miles with over 7,000 feet of climbing. Entries open on 1 November 2026.

Lizard Point to Land’s End, Cornwall

The southernmost point of England to the westernmost, in one go: 44 miles of the south Cornish coast path and 5,531 feet of climbing, covering ninety degrees of the compass — hence the name. Run it solo, as a relay pair or as a team of four. First held in 2007 and in its twenty-first running in 2027; solo places go early, so do not leave it.

The ultra I didn’t run

The Classic Quarter was going to be my first ultra. Six weeks out, my back went. Four months later I am starting again from close to nothing, and building this thing in the meantime.

How PZ×RC started, more or less

A few mates swapped the occasional boozy night for an early-morning run. More people joined, the distances got longer and things got slightly out of hand.
