Overview
The Endurancelife Classic Quarter Ultra Marathon was first hosted in 2007 with great success. The idea for the event was originally conjured up by an enterprising Cornish businessman, surfer and ‘reluctant' endurance athlete one day whilst out on his regular local trail running route, around Lizard Point. From the point, he could just make out Lands End in the far distance, and he wondered...
He wondered whether he might be able to run there, in one go, non stop? He concluded that with some training and a good dose of bloody mindedness, it could be done. He also concluded that it would be a great way to raise some funds for a very worthy organisation, Cornwall Hospice Care. Endurancelife were invited to get the challenge off the ground and the 'Classic Quarter' was born.
The task is brutally simple. To run non-stop from the southern most point, to the western most tip of Cornwall (and England), along the legendary South West Coast Path! That translates to running 90 degrees of the compass from Lizard Point to Lands End hence the name, Classic Quarter.
The course follows 44 miles of the mesmerising SW Coast Path with innumerable s teep climbs and descents. This is the ultimate trail runner’s rush, with spectacular exposure and challenging terrain all a stones throw away from the gently lapping, or potentially pounding Atlantic swells. There is also the unpredictable weather to contend with along the way and every runner must be well prepared mentally and physically.
The Classic Quarter can be undertaken as a relay team of two or four, or as an epic solo effort by the intrepid and well prepared lone runner. Last year the atmosphere of keen and friendly rivalry was a highlight, with the relay category being contested right up the final couple of miles.
The Classic Quarter will celebrate its sixth anniversary in 2012. In the first year, 60 brave souls set off from Lizzard point in a howling westerly gale, it was an epic day and resulted in £3000 being raised for the Hospices. Over the years many thousands of pounds have been raised, and a record 310 runners signed up for the 2011 event and over £8000 was raised. Lets see what we can all do in 2012?
