100 Miles of challenging Cornish terrain with 18000ft of elevation crossing Bodmin Moor and encompassing both the North & South Coast of Cornwall. The Smugglers Way in reverse, The Boscastle Scramble in reverse, The Saints Way Challenge standard direction and the Polruan Shuffle in reverse, all linked with two ferry crossings to make one unforgettable 100 Mile Challenge.

Fully supported self-navigation exercise with live GPS tracking and 7 feed stations / checkpoints with cut offs along the route.

Ferry Crossings:

At Rock & Fowey during normal ferry operating times - your runner bib will grant you passage across to the other side. Outside of normal hours, both ferries will be running as a private hire for all competitors. Maximum turn around time for each ferry should be 15 minutes. There will be a member of staff at each ferry crossing to note your time of arrival so it can be deducted from your overall race time on completion.
