What to expect
The Classic runs the same line as this site's recorded St Just to St Ives route — boulder fields, bogs and all — with a safety cutoff at Zennor Head; the Ultra starts in St Ives, touches Cape Cornwall and comes back. March strips the crowds out and puts the weather in. If you want to know exactly what you are signing up for, the recorded route page is the honest preview.
