Location: St Ives, England

Experience the dramatic beauty of St Ives on this 9.6km loop, blending exhilarating coastal running with tranquil inland paths. Starting with panoramic sea views along the South West Coast Path, be mindful of narrow, rocky sections with exposed drops that demand attention. This initial stretch offers stunning vistas, perfect for those seeking an immersive, scenic run.

Transitioning inland, the route guides you through quiet tracks and open fields towards Trevalgan, before linking back to the coast. While largely unpaved (only 25% paved), the varied terrain provides an engaging workout. Ideal for runners looking for a challenging trail experience or spectacular sightseeing, it's worth noting the inland sections can be muddy after rain.
