2024 date to be confirmed
From a grand setting high above the Teign Valley, we have a duo of tantalisingly tortuous, 100% off-piste Trail races in the most spectacular of woodland settings.
Both the Half-Marathon and 10k trail races start and finish at the wonderfully named Piddledown Common, on the approach to the iconic Castle Drogo, Drewsteignton, Exeter, Devon EX6 6PB.

A 10k trail race combined with a tough half marathon route means there’s a race for everyone, and as ever, our bespoke event medals will be present too!
New starting times. Half Marathon at 10:00 am with the 10km starting at 10:45 am.
The trails go deep and steep. Down to the depths of the Teign River Valley, then rising high above the Fingle treeline. Two extremely tough Woodland Trail Races with over 850m of ascent in the Half Marathon.
10km Route:
Follow the red lines and arrows crossing the iron bridge over the river Teign to the aid station at Fingle Bridge. The blue lines and arrows are the route to the finish after crossing Fingle Bridge with some technical sections before turning right for home.
Elevation profile for the 10k trail race, with the Aid Station at mile 3, Fingle Bridge. Total ascent 289m.
Half Marathon Route:
Elevation Profile for half-marathon – a whopping 871m ascent. Plenty of tough hills but the benefit comes with an equal amount of downhill.
Aid stations at Fingle Bridge at 3 miles, also at mile 7.5 Hillfort car-park and mile 11 back at Fingle Bridge for the final leg.
The courses are fully marked and marshalled by runners for runners. Paramedics at Event HQ and on course.
Our trademark trophies for the winners and runners up. Prizes for age category winners (advised by email when results finalised).
Our bespoke t-shirts can be purchased separately and collected on the day.
