Run Like Hell

Run Like Hell

Run Like Hell is scheduled for Saturday 17th April 2027 and enters its fifth year. It is a coastal trail race of 15 km that runs along the rugged north cliffs of Cornwall, with the start at Portreath Beach.

The course is multi terrain and follows a well maintained footpath in an out and back format. The organiser states the path is generally fast, though the cliffside terrain can still be demanding. There is a three hour cut off for the race.

Parking is available at the start and car sharing is recommended. Entries close two weeks before the event. Standard entry fees are listed as £16.00 and £21.00, and a discounted entry of £15.00 is offered to any runner who cycles or runs to the event.

The organiser provides supporting materials including a kit list, an event guide, a route description and risk assessments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
