The Saints Way Ricochet returns for its fourth year in 2024! Take part in a 57 Mile Ultramarathon in support of The Children’s Hospice South West, coast to coast, straight across Cornwall on Saturday 7th September 2024!

You’ll start at the gates of St.Fimbarrus Church in Fowey at 0001hrs (Saturday) 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 Padstow Social Club.
