About the race
The Boscastle Scramble is a supported, self-navigated marathon along 26 miles of the North Cornwall Coast Path, starting at Posh Rock on the Camel Estuary and finishing in the fishing village of Boscastle. Runners traverse pretty coves, substantial elevation, and stunning sea views, and the course is touted as one of Kernow’s most brutal marathons. Key features include three checkpoints (CP1 New Polzeath at 4.5 miles, CP2 Port Isaac at 12.5 miles, CP3 Trebarwith Strand at 19.5 miles), GPS trackers, mandatory kit checks, and a 9-hour cut-off.
Finishing at the Wellington Hotel, participants receive a medal, with post-race menus and a bar; this is stage 3 of the Saints & Smugglers 100 Mile Challenge. Minimum age 18. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
