Organiser's Description

**Read our race brochure which should contain all the information you'll need**

The Green Lantern is a circular 14 mile ‘half marathon’, which follows the Green Circle clockwise around Exeter, through wooded valleys, meadows, bicycle lanes and the banks of the Exe.

This year you can run it in either direction. But you must choose which direction to run it in on entry. At Mill On The Exe, you'll go right or left and carry on from there.

If you don’t want to tackle the half marathon, you can run the Yellow Zone (Marsh Barton station bridge- 9miles approx). Both races will start together. 

This is a lovely mix of trails, meadows, playing fields and flatlands which run alongside the Exe, through the beautiful Ludwell Valley, Hoopern Valley, Redhills and Mincing Lake Country Park.

The elevation is 313 meters and there are toilets at the start/finish as well as on Topsham Rd and near Exwick cemetery.

A really well organised event taking in Exeter's urban trails and letting the runners see another side to the city. The organisers did a great job at adapting to the covid restrictions and keeping us smiling through the rain.
