1. Provide a different type of course that incorporates roads, woodlands, fields, styles, stepping stones (replacing the boardwalk) and the challenge of just over a 3000ft elevation.
2. Encourage locals and visitors to soak up the stunning scenery that makes up The Bodmin Way.
3. Celebrate the community spirit of Bodmin with churches and other local groups joining together to support an enjoyable day for competitors, volunteers
and spectators.
4. Raise money for local charities.
5. Bring people to Bodmin to enjoy what is on our doorstep and support its tourism.
The Race Director's Team (Sharon Hambley (RD), Lesley Taphouse, Dave and Julie Bidgway, Rosie Trevains and Sharon Perring) could only achieve these aims due to all the support and help provided by Barbara Brittain, the Bodmin Way Planner and the following who we will be very grateful to for their continuing support in the build up and during the event in 2026.

Each and every runner
Each and every volunteer/marshal
Each and every spectator (we hope there will be many along the whole route and hopefully more as time goes by) to support the runners during their most outstanding tranistion into 'Beasts' ! and hear them say “This should be most triumphant." and ensure no one even thinks about saying “I believe our adventure through time has taken a most serious turn.” !!!!!
