Endurancelife Classic Quarter 2026

The Endurancelife Classic Quarter is a 44 mile ultra marathon along the south Cornish coast. The route follows the South West Coast Path from Lizard Point to Land's End and is scheduled for 6 June 2026. The event marks its 20th anniversary year and was first held in 2007.

The course features many steep climbs and descents, exposed sections near the Atlantic and mixed underfoot conditions. Terrain is described as rock, mud and trail, with a total ascent of 5,531 feet. Weather on the coast can be unpredictable, and participants are required to complete a mandatory online check-in about two weeks before the event.

The Classic Quarter is offered in three entry formats and is part of the Endurancelife 2025 to 2026 season. Runners who complete a distance at this event receive points toward the seasonal leaderboard.

2026 entries are sold out and a waitlist is in place for any spaces that may become available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
