Location: Penzance, Cornwall

Taking in both the open coastline and residential streets of Penzance, this 4 km circuit is run entirely on paved surfaces. A long stretch follows the wide seafront promenade towards Newlyn, completely flat and exposed to the sea air with uninterrupted views across the water.

Further inland, the loop threads through quieter streets past Penlee Park and Bolitho Gardens. The running here has a gentle rise and fall, with the circuit's modest 25 metres of climbing gathered into the town roads set back from the shore before dipping back down toward the promenade.
