RACE THE LIGHT

The Classic has 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 Classic race starts on the estuary slipway and finishes at the SchoolhouseDevon restaurant, high above the estuary, then downhill to the river crossing before heading into the Flete Estate. The race finishes with a second crossing of the estuary before a steep uphill ascent to the finish.

The Half Marathon route will cross the Erme estuary on the return journey only. It will include sections of the Classic route but without the two woodland loops, but.. with a feisty five-mile foray down onto the South West Coast Path, before veering west, back to the estuary at Wonwell for a final crossing (hopefully before the tide is in..). 3.25 hour cut-off for the second crossing!

Before the tide is too high!

RACE THE LIGHT CLASSIC
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 11:40am (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.

RACE THE LIGHT – ERME & HAMS HALF MARATHON – Taking in the Classic route with an extra 5 miles thrown in for good measure, including some sublime South Hams SWCP running back to the Erme estuary. But beware. You have to get to the final crossing within 3 hours – or it’s a swim across!

Half Marathon start-time is 11:00am (to be confirmed)
