5k Runs in Exeter 2026 - 2027

The most comprehensive list of 5k Runs in and near Exeter in 2026 - 2027. Find your perfect race!

Exeter is a hilly city, and most 5K routes will reflect that. The Quayside and canal path are the main exceptions - they're flat, paved and good for a quick effort along the river. Away from the water, the ground rises fast. Riverside Valley Park keeps things manageable without being completely flat, and it's a good option if you want something between road and trail. Fancy stepping up? 10K runs in Exeter are the next move.

Have a look through the listings below and pick one that suits. The hills make Exeter a tougher 5K than many cities its size, which is worth factoring in on race day. Half marathons in Exeter and marathons in Exeter are there when you're ready.
