The Hourglass on 27 June 2026 is a last one standing, winner takes all event where you will run 2 mile laps of a flat-ish course in and around the Royal Cornwall Events Centre.

There will be a prize for the last remaining male and female runners plus 2nd & 3rd place.

You will start with 30 minutes on the clock and in this time you will complete lap 1. Each consecutive lap will reduce by 1 minute, so you'll have 29 minutes to complete the next lap and so on.

If you don't manage to finish a lap within the allocated time you will be eliminated from the race. If you can get down to 18 minutes for a lap (9 minute mile pace) - you will have completed 13 laps - which is a marathon! Dare to go longer and you'll be in ultra territory!
