Coast to Coast Copper Trail 2026
The Coast to Coast Copper Trail is a newly extended half marathon held on 23 May 2026, running from Portreath on the north coast of Cornwall to Devoran Quay on the south coast. The event is back for its sixth consecutive year and covers a distance of 13.1 miles along a way marked trail.
The route follows two historic transport corridors first opened in 1812 that were used to move copper to the ports of Portreath and Devoran. There is a checkpoint at the halfway point supplying fluid and salt or sugar snacks. There is no cut off time for finishers. Canicross entries are welcome. All participants receive a Coast to Coast Copper trail medal and there are awards for top finishers. Participants must carry fluid and a mobile phone during the event. An optional minibus return to Portreath is available when registering.
Timing is provided via ST App Service and there will be no chip timing for this event. Registration closes on 12 May 2026. Entry fees vary by booking date, with early prices from £30 and later entries listed at £38. The event is organised by Purple Gecko Events and takes place entirely in Great Britain between Portreath and Devoran. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
