Now in its 5th year the more windswept and, some might say, interesting younger sibling of the Jurassic Coast Challenge. The route starts near Padstow and finishes at Lands End. Complete up to 78.6 miles (3 marathons) over 3 days by walking, running or crawling, pitting your mental and physical prowess against some of the wildest coastline in Britain. Dare to complete 1, 2 or 3 days and brag about it for much, much longer.

Terrain Wild and rugged. Steep climbs and descents that test your concentration as well as your strength. Each day is unqiue with it's own individual challenges and famous landmarks to add to the experience. The course follows the South West Coast path which is marked by the Acorn sign. Its a very obvious well worn route. You will be issued with course maps and the emphasise is on self navigation. In most cases its as easy as keeping the sea on your right and the land on your left.
Facilities Every Atlantic Coast Challenge starter receives a free event T-shirt and every finisher receives a classic challenge trophy. Monday morning proof to your work colleagues or family that you completed the toughest 3 day votwo challenge!
The votwo team are providing the support package that will include the following -
Event HQ : This will act as a meeting point, catering area, massage/first aid point and reception. This will be open throughout the whole event to answer any questions, sell you some event merchandise or offer you some running advice. The Event HQ will be based at the St Ives Bay Holiday Park.
Check points (CPs): These are located approximately every 8 miles. At each CP you will be ‘checked’ in by the CP staff and your time logged. This means we know where you are on the course and if you are late for a check point we can assist you. All the CPs will be stocked with energy bars, jelly babies, salty snacks, filled rolls, water, squash, coke and hot drinks. At the finish point each day a bowl of hot homemade soup and bread roll will await you. CP locations are marked on your issued maps and CP close times will be issued to you along with your actions on emergency card. The event medics will be available at the CP.
Transportation: Each day you will be instructed to meet at the event HQ and then be transported to the start. Once you join votwo on the event you can leave your car at the event HQ and take advantage of the votwo mini buses. On completion of the days run you will be transported back to the event HQ.
Medical assistance: The whole route is covered by our medical support and evacuation plan. Every morning at race registration the medics will be available to sort out any blisters, tape feet up and re-attach severed limbs etc. The votwo sports massage staff will also be available at the end of each day to advise on dealing with strains and injuries.
Route maps. These will be issued as part of the pre event booklet.

Categories Each group is strictly limited to 100 participants as this is the maximum amount of people the event transport can lift in one move. You will be asked to choose which group you would like to start with when you enter online. Once a group is full it will close. The descriptions for each group are as a guide. G1 starts early in the morning so it is advisable for walkers to enter this group. Runners should enter G2 or G3. There is limited availability to move group once selected. If you really need to please email events@votwo.co.uk and make a request.
G1: Walkers / Joggers. This group is for people who intend to walk and, or jog the route. Walkers will have to push themselves to achieve the check point cut off times but the challenge is certainly achievable. On day one of the challenge G1 will have a early start as its approx 3 hr round trip for the event transport to drop groups off at the start point and return back to the HQ to pick up the next group.
G2: Joggers / runners. This group is for people who want to run a bit of the course but also want to have a nice relaxing jog as well.
G3: Runners. For people whole intend to attempt to run the whole course but will probably end up jogging and walking just a little bit faster than G2!
