£36.00 - £50.00
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 2:45pm (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!

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!
