About The Lighthouse Marathon and Ultra
Cornish coastal trails form the backdrop for this marathon and ultra taking place on 7 November 2026. The marathon covers 26 miles along the coastpath between Pendeen and Godrevy lighthouses, while the 35-mile ultra extends the journey further, starting at Land's End and running to Longships Lighthouse before joining the main route at Pendeen.
Both courses traverse rocky, sandy and tarmacked terrain across coastal paths and dunes with substantial elevation gain. The marathon includes over 4000 ft of ascent, while the ultra adds a further 1800 ft. Runners should prepare for challenging conditions including potential mud, water and rain. Participants are advised to be properly trained and equipped for the combination of road, trail and coastal running involved.
