Race The Light - Mothecombe, Erme Estuary

Sat 19th December 2020

A serene beach at sunset, with a river flowing into the ocean. The sky transitions from a warm orange to a deep blue as night falls. Small, illuminated posts (appearing as lights) are scattered along the sandy shoreline, enhancing the tranquil ambiance.

Organiser's Description

Now in it’s 4th year. The start time for the race is 2:30-3pm, with darkness coming somewhere between 4-5pm… can you finish in daylight? The Race is a shadowy 8.5 mile escapade, meandering through the Flete Estates’ secret tracks and trails. You’ll be crossing the river estuary on the outward and return legs, so be prepared for wet feet. (Knee height at max.) We’re racing the light (and the tide) and head torches will be mandatory.. but if you’re quick you might make it back before dark. Mothecombe, South Devon.
