The Cut - Liminal

The Cut - LIMINAL

LIMINAL is the opening event in THE CUT Endurance Series, held at Perranporth Life Saving Club with the local coastline, dunes and surrounding terrain forming the course. The format is a 12-round plus one threshold event in which distance remains within defined limits while time requirements shift during the event.

Each round begins on the hour and the running loop operates within a distance range of 3 to 4 miles. The specific time required to complete each round is not disclosed until competitors start that round. Failing to meet a round requirement results in immediate elimination with no extensions or second chances. Competitors who complete all 12 rounds enter a final hour where head-to-head competition determines winners; one male and one female winner are declared.

The event advises that competitors be able to run three miles in 24 minutes or under on undulating terrain as a guideline for safety and competitive standard. The location exposes participants to coastal conditions, shifting ground and undulating terrain. Mandatory minimum kit includes trail or off-road footwear, a high-visibility vest or outer layer, a head torch, a rear red light, a fully charged mobile phone and a personal hydration system. Spare footwear and socks are strongly recommended because sand and wet conditions are likely.

Entries open 21 February 2026 and close 1 October 2026. The entry fee is £80. There are multiple council car parks within walking distance of the event site; parking availability can vary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
