The Saints Way Ricochet returns for 2022!

You’ll start at the gates of St.Fimbarrus Church in Fowey and make your way North across the county, skirting through Golant, whipping up Helman Tor, skipping across St.Breock downs, before hitting the half way point at St.Johns Methodist Church in Padstow.
Here you can pause for breath, refuel the machine before heading off back down South towards Fowey, 57 Miles in total!

This Coast to Coast way marked trail has been associated with early Saints, Missionaries & Celtic traders seeking to trade with Europe & beyond as far back as the sixth century.

This event is a supported, self navigation exercise with 7 manned checkpoints holding fluid and sustenance for you along the route. All runners will receive a unique Saints Way Ricochet 2022 medal & there will be awards for 1st, 2nd & 3rd male & female!

Registration for the Saints Way Ricochet will be held in Fowey. There will be a mandatory kit list for runners to carry & all competitors will be subject to a kit check prior to the start of the challenge.

This event will be timed. You will have 19 hours to complete the challenge, with individual cut-offs at each checkpoint. Runners will be issued with a GPS tracker & map prior to the start of the challenge & be required to check in with their bib number at the start, all 7 checkpoints & the finish.
