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 of tough terrain including mud, water, rocks, sand, tarmac, big climbs, and dunes, with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation gain. Runners start at Pendeen and finish at Godrevy, racing against daylight to reach the lighthouse before dark.

A new 34-mile ultra marathon was introduced in 2025, featuring three lighthouses: Longships, Pendeen, and Godrevy. The event offers a rugged, scenic experience with a generous cutoff time, free parking, bag drop, and post-race food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
