Total Coastal Half Marathon
Total Coastal Half Marathon is a half marathon held in Shaldon, United Kingdom, in April. It covers 13.1 miles along the South West Coast Path, starting at Preston Green near Paignton and finishing at The Ness in Shaldon.
Roughly three quarters of the route is on trail, with the remainder on tarmac. The early miles are on road and take runners around Torquay Harbour. Past the Imperial Hotel the surface turns to trail, running by Babbacombe Beach and beneath the Babbacombe Cliff Railway before crossing Petitor Downs.
The last six miles are entirely off-road. Total climbing comes to about 3,000 feet, so the course is hilly throughout. Navigation is simple, because the path is waymarked with Acorn signs and the sea stays on the runner's right the whole way.
Who it's for
