Organiser's description
Comprising of 5km and 10km route options, Assault on Baggy Point utilises the beautiful Baggy Point landscape near Croyde to deliver a 5km course across the fields and along the South West Coast Path, a truly wild location on a winter’s night but stunning none the less! 2 laps are completed for the 10km.
This course is undulating but on good trails and tracks. Making your way around the course you’ll travel along the inland trails across the fields before navigating the South West Coast Path around the peninsula that is Baggy point. The route starts and finishes at the National Trust’s Sandleigh Cafe.
Registration will open at 18:15, 10km starts at 19:25 and the 5km starts at 19:35.
Enter the whole 4 event series, the 2 event Somerset mini series or just the Moonlit Meadow Run. The choice is yours.
Our bespoke wooden finisher’s medals are available as an optional extra, can you collect all four?
As part of our drive to make our events waste free we have chosen to make the medal an optional extra, those who love their race bling can purchase theirs when entering but must enter at least 2 weeks prior to race day.

Channel Events
Here at Channel Events our aim is to run engaging and accessible lifestyle events that drive lifelong, self-led participation in physical activity in the outdoors. We are driven by the belief and research that regular physical activity in the outdoor environment has massive physical and mental health benefits. We deliver outdoor events, not only because they are an awesome thing for you to participate in but because it is about much more than just event day, it’s a lifestyle choice. Setting yourself a goal which then leads to regular physical activity, enjoying the outdoors, joining clubs, meeting new people and training for the event makes positive changes in peoples lives. From the moment you enter one of our events you’ve made a lifestyle choice and what a great choice you’ve made, we look forward to seeing you on the start line! Channel UK Events CIC is a Community Interest Company (CIC) incorporated in October 2018 – A community interest company is a business with primary social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community. Channel Events has always been and will continue to be not-for-profit, firstly as a project of Channel Adventure and now as its own entity. Dan Brice heads up Channel Events and is completely passionate about every event we organise and deliver. Dan came to the Channel Group 3 years ago bringing the successful Quantock Quake with him, this event is now the finale of The Triple! Through Dan’s passion and drive we are delighted to have incorporated Channel Events as a CIC and look forward to the trail ahead! Our events could not happen without the amazing support of our Volunteer Tribe! We are very grateful to every single one of them for donating their time to help us deliver fantastic events for you. We do of course look after them as best we can with social events, merchandise, breakfast and drinks on event days. Interested in giving something back to a sport you love, or just have some free time? We are always looking for more volunteers to join the tribe! Enter an event, become one of the tribe or both! We’d love to meet you!
