Organiser's Description
The Maverick Exmoor X-Trail 2027
SATURDAY 1 MAY 2027 | CAFFYNS FARM, LYNTON
The Maverick Exmoor returns in 2027 to deliver one of the UK's most spectacular—and demanding—trail running experiences. Set within the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park, this is trail running at its rawest. Towering sea cliffs, relentless climbs, ancient woodland, remote valleys, and sweeping moorland create a route as breathtaking as it is brutal. If you seek comfort, this isn't for you. If you seek adventure, welcome to Exmoor.
With five route options from 5km to the 50k Ultra, there is a challenge for every level, but Exmoor earns its reputation. Climb steepness, technical descents, and rugged terrain demand respect from start to finish.
Starting at Caffyns Farm near Lynton, the routes quickly join the legendary South West Coast Path. Dramatic cliffs open to vast views across the Bristol Channel toward South Wales. The coastline feels untamed—rugged, exposed, and beautiful—with seabirds overhead and Atlantic winds nearby. A highlight is the Valley of Rocks, famous for towering formations and wild feral goats, a place unlike anywhere else in the UK.
But the coast is only part of the story. The routes then sweep inland through some of the National Park’s most magical hidden corners - following fast-flowing rivers, weaving through ancient woodland, and passing waterfalls tucked deep within the valleys. The constantly changing terrain keeps you fully engaged, with every turn revealing another unforgettable view or another savage climb waiting ahead.
This is not a race you simply “tick off.” It’s one you experience. Whether you take on the Short route, tackle the Marathon, or commit fully to the Ultra, Exmoor promises big elevation, huge scenery, and the kind of challenge that stays with you long after the finish line.
And when the running is done, there’s no need to rush away. Make a full weekend of it by camping onsite at Caffyns Farm and soaking up the atmosphere with fellow runners in one of the most unique event locations on the Maverick calendar.
We’re proud to work alongside the Exmoor National Park team, with a portion of every entry fee donated to CareMoor, supporting the ongoing protection and maintenance of this incredible landscape for future generations.
This is Exmoor the Maverick way—wild, relentless, unforgettable.
