About the race
A series of coastal ultra and challenge events running along the North and Exmoor coasts of the South West peninsula, with finishes at the South West Coast Path marker in Minehead.

The North Coast 110 mile race follows the true North Coast route from Hartland Quay eastwards, with sustained climbing and coastal terrain before joining the 110 km line at Barnstaple. The event lists nearly 6,000 m of elevation gain for the 110 mile course and requires prior completion of a 50+ km event for entry to that distance. The 110 km route departs Barnstaple and follows the Taw estuary, Braunton Burrows and a sequence of headlands and beaches including Baggy Point, Woolacombe and Morte Point, passing through Ilfracombe and Combe Martin before joining the route to Minehead.
The Hartland Coast Ultra follows the same initial section as the longer routes and includes an almost flat final 16 km on tarmac into Barnstaple. The Exmoor Coast Ultra traverses the length of Exmoor National Park and notes coastal woodland and high coastal points such as Culbone Hill and Great Hangman. The shorter Exmoor Coast Challenge covers the final 38 km from Lynton to Minehead. Transport to start locations is available for these events.
