About the Event

Embrace a classic British ultra-marathon challenge at the Endurancelife Classic Quarter on Friday, June 6, 2026, celebrating its 20th anniversary as one of the UK's most iconic coastal races. The task is brutally simple yet profoundly epic: run 44 relentless, non-stop miles from Lizard Point—England's southernmost tip—to the legendary Land's End along the mesmerising South West Coast Path, covering 90 degrees of the compass. This is the ultimate trail runner's rush, featuring over 5,500 feet of punishing ascent and descent on exposed, technical terrain, with the pounding Atlantic Ocean as your constant, dramatic companion. You can take on the challenge solo or share the journey with a relay team of two or four, experiencing the keen and friendly rivalry that defines this beloved event. A true test of mental and physical fortitude, the Classic Quarter demands respect for its unpredictable weather and severe coastal landscapes, offering spectacular views that are earned with every gruelling climb. As a UTMB qualifier with a rich history spanning nearly two decades, it attracts a global community of dedicated ultra-runners seeking a pure, unadulterated challenge. Whether you're chasing a personal record or simply aiming to conquer one of Britain's great point-to-point routes, this is an adventure that will define your running season. Join over ten thousand runners who have accepted the call since 2007 and write your own chapter in the story of this legendary Cornish ultra. Are you ready to run the quarter?
