Beacon Beast Marathon
The Beacon Beast Marathon is a multi-terrain marathon race. The event also includes the Beastie McBeastRace (The Beastly Half!), a half marathon distance event. The half marathon is based on the second half of the marathon route.
The marathon follows a unique figure-of-eight route based on the Bodmin Way. It passes five different churches which support runners along the course. The route includes crossings of the A30 via bridges and underpasses. It also features streams, stiles, possible boggy sections, and stepping stones. In 2026, the route will continue to follow the additional elevation introduced in 2024 as it re-enters Cardinham Woods.
The event awards a new finisher's medal design each year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
