The Atlantic Coast Ultra 40 miler is a 40 mile (roughly 64 km) trail race that starts from Hayle in Cornwall, United Kingdom, with a race day start time of 08:30. The course is described by the organisers as wild and rugged, with steep climbs and descents that test concentration as much as strength, and runners are given 13 hours to complete it. The event is organised by Votwo Events and has been staged regularly through the autumn, drawing a small but committed field each year. Entry for the 2026 edition is listed at £90.
