The Fairytale of Newquay | Canicross Ultra Marathon

Join us for a Festive coastal Ultramarathon & 'Long Half Marathon' along the North Coast of Cornwall finishing at Porth Beach, Newquay to end the racing year in style! Take part in this timed, self-navigation coast path run & get into the spirit of Christmas by dressing up (optional but absolutely encouraged) and running through our festive themed checkpoints! (weather dependant!) Canicross entries welcome! Long Half (15 miles) Runners will register at the Mermaid Inn in Newquay before being bussed over to Harlyn Bay. You have a 6 hour cut-off. Ultramarathon (30miles) runners will register at the Mermaid Inn in Newquay & start from Porth Beach right outside. You have a 10 hour cut-off. Runners will be issued a GPS tracker with a live link to the route. A kit check will also take place here too. This is for your own safety whilst out on the cliff path, not your inconvenience. Any questions, please drop us an email. There will be 1/3 checkpoints along the way for the long half & Ultra respectively. These will be stocked with fluid & salt / sugar snacks etc. All runners will receive a Fairy tale of Newquay medal & there will be awards for the top finishers! Please leave enough time to collect you bib, tracker & have your kit checked. Keep an eye out for further race information on our social media sites & website. Final Race Day info will be emailed out to all entrants and posted on here & our Facebook page a week prior to the event.
