Pi & Pasty Challenge - Day 1

Sat 14th March 2026

A round medal with "Running Events Devon" and "Pasty & Pie Challenge" written on it, featuring an image of a pasty or pie. The medal hangs from a yellow ribbon reading "Pasty & Pie Challenge. A large cardboard box is filled with various baked goods, including numerous pasties, pies, and some items wrapped in brown paper. The assortment appears freshly baked with golden brown crusts, neatly arranged, and ready to be served. A group of people, wearing athletic clothing, running along a paved trail bordered by grass and leafless shrubs on a cloudy day. Some runners are in brightly colored outfits and appear to be participating in a group event, heading away from the camera.

A great little race, very well organised and a nice course, 8 laps seems psychologically very achievable. Very low-key, the marathon only had 15 people, who'd have thought that I'd finish 9th in a marathon! And the medal, definitely the best I've ever had, not only is it well designed and chunky, it spins!!!
Thank you Peter for taking the time to do a review. We are glad you enjoyed our event and the medal. Hope the pasty went down well too. Hope to welcome you again soon. Jenny & Tim

A wonderful small event with a warm welcome from the organisers and friendly competitors. The laid back nature, makes it a great way to get started off. A perfect event for a ‘first’ of any distance. An event I will certainly return to.

I was a 10k race virgin attending this event and was very surprised with a warm welcome and a lot of encouragement from fellow runners. A well organised event with clear marked path and a finishing time handed with medal on completion. Asked before taking photos and respected boundaries. Tim and Jenny truly lovely people and I will return.
