Lighthouse Marathon | Bys Vyken Events
The Lighthouse Marathon, organized by Bys Vyken Events, is held along the rugged Cornish Coast Path in Cornwall, UK. Known as Cornwall's toughest marathon, the 26.2-mile trail features challenging terrain including mud, water, rocks, sand, tarmac, big climbs, and dunes, with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation gain. The race starts at Pendeen and finishes at Godrevy, with a generous cutoff time that may have runners finishing in the dark near the iconic lighthouse.
In 2025, a new 34-mile Lighthouse Ultra is introduced, covering three lighthouses—Longships, Pendeen, and Godrevy—offering an even more demanding and scenic experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
