Lighthouse Marathon | Bys Vyken Events

The Lighthouse Marathon, organized by Bys Vyken Events, is a challenging trail race held along the Cornish Coast Path in Cornwall, UK. The marathon covers 26.2 miles from Pendeen to Godrevy, featuring nearly 4,000 feet of elevation gain with varied terrain including mud, water, rocks, sand, tarmac, big climbs, and dunes. Known as Cornwall's toughest marathon, it offers a generous cut-off time but may require finishing in the dark, with the final challenge being to beat the light at the lighthouse.

In 2025, a new 34-mile Lighthouse Ultra includes three lighthouses and is limited to 70 runners, promising even more rugged terrain and adventure. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
