CREPUSCULAR WINTER TRAIL RACES

MOTHECOMBE (Erme estuary) 

SATURDAY 7th DECEMBER 2024

RACE THE LIGHT will be back at Mothecombe on the Erme Estuary for an 8th time in December 2024

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.

BACK FOR A SECOND TIME..

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 2pm
