A Guided Run: The Cornish Skyline

Launceston, United Kingdom • 27 Jul 2025

A Guided Run: The Cornish Skyline is a 16-mile guided trail run across Bodmin Moor, Cornwall's highest peaks. Starting at the Jamaica Inn, the route traverses wild, open moorland with minimal shelter, following sheep trods and public footpaths. The terrain is undulating and can be rough in places, but summer conditions typically keep it from being muddy. Participants are advised to wear trail shoes, long sleeves, and waterproof gear due to unpredictable weather. The run is conducted at a gentle pace, lasting up to four hours, offering a scenic and challenging experience in a remote natural setting.
