Saints & Smugglers 100 Mile Challenge Part Deux

The Saints & Smugglers 100 Mile Challenge Part Deux is a supported endurance event held on 26 and 27 September 2026 in Looe, Cornwall. The route starts and finishes at Tencreek Holiday Park, PL13 2JR, and crosses the county twice, visiting both the north and south Cornish coastlines.

The course distance is 100 Miles and entrants are allowed 39 hours to complete the route. The event description lists 18,000 ft of ascent and includes two ferry crossings at Rock and Fowey.

The challenge is a fully supported self-navigation event with live GPS tracking and seven feed stations or checkpoints with cut off times. Runners must carry a mandatory kit list. Timing is provided via the ST App Service; there will be no chip timing.
