North Coast Ultra
North Cornwall Coast Path. 30th April 2022
Introduction:
Complete the distance by walking, running or crawling, pitting your mental and physical prowess against some of the most scenic coastline in Britain. Votwo has teamed up with Geo Tracks. This system provides runners with a personal GPS tracker and navigation mobile phone app allowing them to accurately navigate the course and receive real-time positions of the other participants and themselves.
Terrain:
Wild and rugged. Steep climbs and descents that test your concentration as well as your strength. This is a tough course and is unique with its own individual challenges and famous landmarks to add to the experience.
The course follows the South West Coast path which is marked by the Acorn sign. It's a very obvious well-worn route. You will be issued with course maps and the emphasis is on self-navigation. In most cases, it's as easy as keeping the sea on your right and the land on your left.

“These events are inclusive and are not just for runners, where long cut off times mean that those who wish to walk have the opportunity to do so as long as they meet the cut off times.
Votwo staff have once again provided an excellent event that has undoubtedly been one of the best I have been involved in.“
— Steve Jackson 2018
