RACE THE LIGHT
Sat 6th December 2025












Organiser's Description
The original RACE THE LIGHT CLASSIC – 8.5 miles of shadowy estuarine trails, meandering through the privately owned Flete Estate.
There’s a double crossing of the River Erme estuary so it’s a race against the light.. and the tide. So wet feet from the off!
The start time for the race is 11am (subject to change of 15-20 minutes depending on weather and tidal conditions on Raceday).
The race starts at the bottom of the slipway on Coastguards Beach, and finishes with a mighty uphill climb to the SchoolhouseDevon restaurant, high above the water.
Each finisher will receive a bespoke RACE THE LIGHT medal.
We're racing the Light, and the Tide!
