MTC Will-o-the-Wisp

The MTC Will-o-the-Wisp is a single-day ultra run held on 21 July 2029 and presented as part of the Mount to Coast End to End series. The event is also Day 12 of the MTC ALBION multi-day challenge. The published route runs from Liskeard to Truro and follows the same overall line used for the MTC JOGLE event but with reduced daily distances.

The route is described with a total distance of 37 miles, with listed ascent of 3598 ft and descent of 3683 ft. Start and finish locations are at Premier Inn sites in Liskeard and Truro. Competitor numbers are limited to 20 regular entries with an additional allowance of 20 for ALBION entrants, giving a maximum field of 40. All entrants must be aged 20 or over on the start day.

The race operates preset cut-off times based on a minimum average speed of 4 mph; runners falling below this minimum may be withdrawn. Competitors receive a finisher medal and male and female champions receive trophies. Entry options include a standard entry fee of £90 and a plus package of £155 that includes a race shirt and hi-viz jacket if ordered at least four weeks before the event. The event is cup free so runners must bring a reusable cup.
