The Devon Trail races has a new venue for 2024 and take in some of the very best paths of the Lake.
The 10K is 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.

Sportiva Events is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of their initiatives:
For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees
New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
Lots of competitors are not interested in finishers' medals so they are now optional. A £2 charity donation is made for every medal not selected.
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.
Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.
At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £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

Great event! Especially with all the dogs running 🙂 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
