Lizard, United Kingdom • 6 Jun 2026

Event overview

The Classic Quarter is a 44-mile ultra marathon along the south Cornish coast from Lizard Point to Land's End on 6 June 2026. The route follows the South West Coast Path and includes approximately 5,531 ft of ascent. The organiser describes the terrain as severe, with rock, mud and trail underfoot and exposed sections beside Atlantic swells. The Solo category forms part of the Endurancelife 2025-26 season leaderboard and awards points to finishers. Registered participants will be asked to check in online about three weeks before the event.
