Event summary

Get ready for an unforgettable running experience at the Choo-Choo Challenge, organized by Running Events Devon! This exciting event will take place on Monday, August 31, 2026, in the picturesque town of Okehampton, Devon. Participants can choose between two start times: an 8:30 AM start with a generous 7-hour cut-off or a 10:30 AM start with a 5-hour cut-off. The scenic 5.3k out-and-back route, set on an old disused train line, welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities. Whether you aim to complete just one lap or push yourself to conquer multiple laps, everyone is celebrated as a finisher and will receive a special medal for their efforts.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! With limited places available, be sure to secure your spot early. If you’re looking for nearby accommodation, the Fox & Hounds offers comfortable rooms, a bunkhouse, and camping options, along with highly recommended dining. Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and community spirit at the Choo-Choo Challenge!

Choo-Choo Challenge

Mon 31st August 2026

A narrow, paved country road curves gently between green trees and fields under a partly cloudy blue sky, with stone walls lining both sides of the road. A country lane bordered by wooden fences and trees leads into open fields under a partly cloudy sky. Sunlight shines through the leaves, and a blue public footpath sign is visible by the path.
