The Half is a challenge but an achievable one for all and has a great atmosphere amongst the runners. Whilst the Full is a challenge for anyone and has been described as one of the most beautiful and difficult Marathons anywhere in the World and should be on any runners bucket list.

SOLO SERIES 2021With so much uncertainty in the world at present, including the ‘running  world’, we all need a new challenge – Something to aim for.. a goal, a test of endurance, an adventure..  The only definites at present are that we can run alone, but we still need that sense of urgency and motivation to get out there and hit the trails. It’s as much about our mental welfare as our physical.We have a new race planned for April, but as an insight and recce/challenge, we are presenting this as a SOLO event during the month of January with a further two SOLO events planned for February and March 2021.Our SOLO events are designed to be run ‘alone’ or with ONE other person from your support network or bubble (this may be modified by ongoing Government directives).We will provide you with a gpx file and route guidance for each event. We will share your journey through a dedicated Social Media Event page and through your link to *STRAVA* so we can see in real-time your ongoing progress and achievement. Photos of your journey can be uploaded for a pictorial account of your adventure.The Format:Each event will be of ONE calendar month in duration.Each event can be completed either as a ONE-day or MULTI-day Challenge. It’s entirely up to you!Enter individual SOLO Challenges or all three to become the SOLO SERIES overall winner.. (Results and final finishing list will be published shortly after each Challenge’s timeframe elapses).Data from *STRAVA* will be used to verify the event. ‘Total Time Elapsed’ data only so please be aware of this – ‘Moving Time Only’ data will not be recognised as a valid form of verification.Bespoke Puretrail SOLO event Certificate and Puretrail Buff for every SOLO competitor to complete a Challenge event within the allotted timeframe (one calendar month).Finishers of each respective Challenge will be entitled to a 10% discount on the cost of the Official Race later in 2021.TSUNAMI SOLOOur most popular TSUNAMI distance – the 37.5 mile rollercoaster from Westward Ho! to Bude.A precursor to the June event. The TSUNAMI SOLO will be an extreme test of endurance with over 2600m of ascent. The route must be undertaken during the month of March 2021.No coastal ultramarathon of under 50 miles can match the TSUNAMI ULTRA for the remoteness of location and total elevation gain, so to be undertaken as a solo event in very early Spring is an exceptional challenge, but definitely an achievable one.Although the June event is run from North to South, for the SOLO event we will allow the route to be run in either direction.A bespoke TSUNAMISOLO Certificate and Puretrail buff await all finishers when data from *STRAVA* has been verified.
