North Coast 110 / Exmoor Coast Ultra
A series of coastal ultra-distance events that follow the South West Coast Path. The programme offers five distances with self navigation and GPS tracking provided. Transport is arranged to starts from Minehead where noted.
Distances available:
- 110 miles (178 km) from Hartland Quay

- 114 km North Coast 110 km from Barnstaple

The 110 mile event includes nearly 6,000 m of elevation gain and requires a previous 50 km finish as an entry prerequisite. The route from Hartland Quay heads east past Hartland Point, Clovelly and Westward Ho, then follows the Torridge and Taw estuaries into Barnstaple.
The 114 km route leaves Barnstaple and follows the Taw estuary before running past Braunton Burrows, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Baggy Point, Woolacombe Sands, Morte Point, Bull Point lighthouse, Lee Bay and Ilfracombe, reaching the half way point at Water Mouth Cove and Combe Martin.
The 58 km Exmoor Coast course traverses Exmoor National Park from Combe Martin to Minehead. Notable coastal features on this section include long stretches of coastal woodland, Culbone Hill at 433 m, and the sea cliff Great Hangman at 244 m.
Selected races carry ITRA points and UTMB index status relevant to their distance category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
