Race Across Cornwall

Two Teams, One Coastline - Carlyon Bay vs Royal Duchy

They'll go head-to-head on Thursday 4th June 2026

The Brend Collection is proud to announce an exciting charity challenge in support of Children’s Hospice South West - an organisation dedicated to helping make the most of short and precious lives across the South West.

In a test of endurance, teamwork, and determination, The Carlyon Bay Hotel will go head-to-head with the Royal Duchy Hotel in an unforgettable race along the stunning South West Coast Path. Both teams will set off with one goal: to reach each other’s hotel before their rivals - all while raising as much money as possible for this incredible cause.

Covering an estimated eight-hour walking route, this is no easy feat. The dramatic Cornish coastline will provide a breathtaking backdrop, but the challenge ahead is not for the faint-hearted. There will be sweat, there may be tears, but above all, there will be unwavering determination.

Leading the charge from the start, Holly and Mark will set the pace, while Sean and James prepare for what promises to be a thrilling final dash to the finish line. It’s set to be a true battle of perseverance - and perhaps, finally, an answer to the long-standing in-house rivalry: which hotel really has the better team?

More than just a competition, this event is about coming together to support families and children who need it most. Every step taken is a step towards making a difference.

Stay tuned as the teams take on Cornwall - and may the best team win.
