We are offering runners the chance to run Day 1 of the Ring O’ Fire 135 Mile Coastal Ultra Marathon as a separate race.

If you prefer a single stage race over a shorter distance this may be the race for you.

This 35.7m / 57km race is a very challenging ultra marathon in its own right.

Runners will encounter a wide variety of terrain, including sandy and pebble beaches, steep cliff top paths, headlands, rocky coves, farmland fields and quaint seaside fishing villages.

The route is predominately trail, but there are small sections of public road.

There are also gates and stiles to negotiate throughout the length of the course.

We call it the Firelighter!
