Saints & Smugglers 100 Mile Challenge Part Deux

The Saints & Smugglers 100 Mile Challenge Part Deux is scheduled for 26 and 27 September 2026 and starts and finishes at Tencreek Holiday Park in Looe, Cornwall. The route covers 100 Miles of Cornish terrain, crossing the county twice and running along both the north and south coastlines.

Competitors are allocated 39 hours to complete the route. The course includes approximately 18,000 ft of elevation gain and two ferry crossings at Rock and Fowey.

The event is a fully supported, self-navigation exercise with live GPS tracking. There are seven feed stations or checkpoints placed along the route, and cutoffs apply at some stations. A mandatory kit list applies to all runners.

Timing will be handled via an app service; there will be no chip timing. Registration for the event closes on 1 August 2026 at 12:00. The organiser is Purple Gecko Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
