Overview
The Atlantic Coast Ultra 40 miler was a 64 km trail race organized by Votwo Events out of Hayle in the United Kingdom. With a 13-hour time limit requiring a minimum pace of 12.2 minutes per kilometer, its cut-off was more generous than 67% of 50mi peers and tighter than 33%. That forgiving pace allowance gave runners leeway to manage the steep climbs, rugged descents, and testing terrain characteristic of the course.
Across its 4 editions between 2020 and 2023, the event maintained a mid-sized gathering, recording 45 finishers in 2023. That placed it smaller than 53% of 50mi fields and bigger than 46%, keeping the trails open without the congestion seen in larger events.
