The Something Wild Trail Races have Devon’s best trail running routes at its heart, a wonderful venue, with some of our favourite trails in the South West, taking in the Avon and Salcombe estuaries and some of the best sections of the South West Coast Path
Perched next to the sea, our farm field festival site is in the perfect spot, with the camping site, at the fulcrum of the race routes.
Make this a Spring to remember and bring your family.
The campsite
The farmer has kindly given access to his fields, overlooking the idyllic Hope Cove, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better location to wake up to in the southwest. close to ideal swimming spots in Hope Cove, East Soar and Bantham Bay.
Camping and parking will both be allowed in the field but separated, to allow flow and easy access.
The campsite is suitable for up to 100 tents with parking and suitable for camper vans serving as the fulcrum for all our trail events, which is ideal for spectators.
We’ll be offering compost toilet facilities, portaloos and warm showers,
Unique South West Coast Path Trails
We have lined up some of the best coast routes on the South West Coast path for our 5k, 10k or half marathon and marathon, as well as children's races.
