(1)About Running in Cornwall on Verus
Verus tracks 11 races across Cornwall at 5 different distances — 5 ultra marathons, 2 half marathons, 2 10Ks, 1 race at another distance and 1 marathon. Few counties give you that much choice of what to actually run.
Racing in Cornwall comes in clusters rather than a steady drip: 5 months carry a date, and January carries the most of them. Plan a build around that shape rather than assuming something is always a few weeks out.
Terrain varies more than a single figure for Cornwall suggests. Of the 3 races here that publish an elevation figure, Endurancelife Classic Quarter is the flattest at 5,531ft of climb and Arc of Attrition 100 the hilliest at 18,068ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.
Cornwall also has 10 parkruns running every Saturday, free to enter — the weekly habit that sits underneath the race calendar above rather than competing with it.

Every race links through to its own page with entry details, the course, elevation where the organiser publishes it, and a pace calculator. Spotted a race in Cornwall that's missing? Suggest it and we'll research and add it.
