Event overview

The Devon Trail races is returning to this ideal venue to take in some of the very best paths of the lake.

The 10K is a single-loop course with some cracking trails, some tough little climbs.

The start and registration are in the stunning grounds of Roadford.

The half marathon is mainly two laps of the same course but with an extra trail section.

These events are ideal for runners of all abilities. There are also canicross categories.

  • Sustainability policy
  • Trees not tees

Sportiva Events is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of their initiatives:

Sustainability

  • Trees not tees

    For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees

  • Avoid single-use plastics

    New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.

  • Optional medals

    Lots of competitors are not interested in finishers' medals so they are now optional. A Β£2 charity donation is made for every medal not selected.

  • Swim hats on request

    Swim hats are provided for open water swimming events as they help the water safety teams keep track of swimmers. However for all pool events, swim hats are now on request to reduce wastage.

  • Reuseable zip ties and recycling

    Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.

  • Reducing car use

    At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get Β£5 discount.

Fab event - loved it.... thanks for going to such effort to run a brilliant race, the marshalls were awesome! Lucy Poole

Fab race, undulating and challenging and the Marshalls ere fab at every station, would thoroughly recommend any race. Helen

This was a really enjoyable race, well marshalled and very friendly in addition to a lovely scenic course. Race information supplied was very good. I would definitely take part again. Christine F

Fantastic and interesting course. My first race in 3 years, very hilly to start but worth it. Very well organised and the communication was excellent on the run up and on the day. Darren T

Had a blast running this race, would highly recommend. Ben G

Great event! Especially with all the dogs running πŸ™‚ Well done to all of the Sportiva team. I appreciated the number of Marshalls who were very positive. Also the course arrows were very clear. Joe L

Really run trail race. Second year taking part and I thoroughly enjoy doing it. Really well marked and plenty of Marshalls, a good mix of ups and downs. Alice N

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
