This event is part of the Endurancelife 26-27 trail running season (September 2026 till July 2027). Runners who complete any distance category at this event will be awarded points and will be listed in the Season Leader Board.

Check-in! : We will be asking all registered participants to check in online approximately two weeks from the event. The Check-in process will result in a simpler event experience for you by removing the usual on-the-day administration. Within the Check-in process we will ask you to check your personal details, such as your ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact, as well as watch the mandatory event safety video.
With the wild and dramatic Atlantic Sea as a backdrop this is a spectacular setting for a trail running adventure.
