Discover Scilly60 Events.
Scilly60 Events launched in 2023 with its flagship event: a 60 km multi-stage ultramarathon trail race. It has since grown into a vibrant organisation delivering a variety of adventurous inter-island sporting events throughout the stunning Isles of Scilly archipelago.
Scilly60 Events is a small company bringing people together through thier love of the outdoors. Although often seen as races, we call them events. Our goal is to give you an amazing adventure within the ANOB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) know as the Isles of Scilly.
Whether you are at the front of the pack or the back, a new or veteran athlete; we believe that everyone who participates with a smile on their face is a winner!
