MTC Will-o-the-Wisp
The MTC Will-o-the-Wisp is a single day ultra marathon covering a total distance of 38 miles. This event takes place in England and serves as day 12 of the MTC ALBION, a larger 13-day end-to-end challenge. Participants in this race run alongside competitors completing the multi-day series.
The route starts in Liskeard at the Premier Inn on Haviland Road and concludes at the Premier Inn in Truro. The course follows the same path used for the MTC JOGLE event. There are three hydration and nutrition check-points located along the way:
- 38 miles
- Saint Winnow (10.5 miles)
- Saint Austell (19.6 miles)
- Probus (28.3 miles)
Participants must maintain a minimum average speed of 4 mph. Those who fall below this requirement will be withdrawn from the race. This is a cup-free event, meaning runners must bring their own reusable cups for drinks at check-points. Nutrition typically includes items such as malt loaf, cake, sandwiches, and fruit squash.
Mandatory equipment is required for all entrants, including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, a compass or GPS device, a whistle, a mobile phone, and a basic first aid kit. The organizer provides a tracking device for each runner to monitor progress and for use in emergencies. All finishers receive a bespoke race medal, and trophies are awarded to the male and female champions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
