A COVID-SAFE TRAIL RUNNING EXPERIENCE...
2019 & 2020 VIDEO PACKAGES FROM 'DOWN SOUTH POV' & 'ULTRA RUNNING MATELOT'
A covid-safe trail running experience along the coast and the inland of the West Cornwall Peninsula, taking in the breathtaking views of St Michaels Mount where the race will finish opposite to, Trencrom, Ninnes Bridge, Knill's Monument, St Uny church and St Ives Bay, Mount's Bay and my personal favourites, 'The Pointless Hill' & a near mile of shingle beach to finish on!
There are wonderfully undulating sections such as Trencrom which stands at almost 560ft, and farmland that creeps toward the 600 mark. With over 1,500ft of elevation, expect most of it in the first half alone! It doesn't end there though as not only will Trencrom hopefully be back in 2021 (NT licensing during covid dependant), there will also be that mighty shitey hill in Ludgvan to run down and then back up!
The path has been used since prehistoric times. It was used to cross the Cornish Peninsula and it provided safe passage for missionaries who brought Christianity to Cornwall. These missionaries, who followed the Saint Michael's Way, and similar paths, are commemorated as saints in place names throughout the County, including right here on this route.
St Michael's Mount has a counterpart in France at Mont Saint Michel. Both sites have much in common in their history and legends. In particular, the Archangel Gabriel was supposed to have appeared at both sites during the Fifth Century
Discover the heritage and discover Cornwall's own distinctive world in trail shoes.
Note: There are 3 major A road crossing on the route(A3074, A30 and A394).
Every measure will be taken to ensure the absolute safety of every single person from runner to crew and oncoming vehicles.
Also there is a mid marshland train crossing and a road crossing to the beach finish near the mount.
No dogs in 2021 due to covid
