About the Event

Confront the untamed majesty of Cornwall's Atlantic frontier in the legendary Atlantic Coast Challenge, October 2-4, 2026, a monumental three-day journey covering up to 78.6 iconic miles from Padstow to Lands End. Now in its 21st year, this ultimate multi-day endurance test pits your mental and physical fortitude against the wildest coastline in Britain, with each day presenting a unique marathon-plus distance of relentless climbs, dramatic cliffs, and awe-inspiring ocean views. Organized by Epic Endurance Events CIC, the challenge offers seamless logistics including daily transport, GPS tracking, well-stocked checkpoints, and medical support, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the raw beauty and demanding terrain of the South West Coast Path. Whether you commit to the full triple marathon or conquer a single day, you'll join a dedicated community of runners and walkers, all rewarded with an event T-shirt, a classic finisher's medal, and the ultimate Cornish pasty at the journey's end. With on-site camping and catering at the St Ives Bay HQ, the event fosters a powerful spirit of shared endeavour and celebration. Secure your place for an unforgettable autumn weekend where every punishing step along the cliff edge is a story of resilience, and finishing is a legendary achievement.
