Endurancelife Classic Quarter 2026
The Classic Quarter is a 44-mile ultra marathon along the south Cornish coast, following the South West Coast Path from Lizard Point to Land's End. The route includes rocky, muddy and trail surfaces and accumulates about 5,531 feet of ascent. The course passes exposed coastal terrain and is subject to variable Atlantic weather; there is very little shelter at the start area.
The event offers three entry formats: solo, relay pair and relay quad, with each covering the same 44-mile route. Logistics for 2026 include a new parking field at Transition 2 (Perranuthnoe) and a relocated Transition 3 to Raginnis Hill, south of Mousehole; the Penzance pitstop used in 2025 has been removed. Complimentary parking is provided at Land's End for one vehicle per solo entry or relay team. Optional coach transport to Lizard is offered for those who need it.
Entry for 2026 reached capacity and a waitlist is in place. Race-day services and procedures include a live feed to track runners at checkpoints, mailed bibs for certain checked-in solos, and on-site bib and baton collection at the event marquee in Lizard for relay teams and participants who did not receive posted numbers. The Classic Quarter is part of the Endurancelife seasonal leaderboard and marks the event's 20th anniversary year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
