Overview

This truly is trail running territory at its best.

Britain boasts one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world and this event showcases the stunning location of Exmoor with its abundance of natural beauty, breathtaking scenery and unlimited potential to inspire.

The Exmoor courses encompass stiff climbs and long descents, open moorland, thickly wooded combes (valleys), historical ruins, dizzying cliffs, exquisitely beautiful rivers and a stretch of coastline that is unsurpassed.

This event is confident that there is no course in Britain that offers such a variety of terrain within such a compact area. The Exmoor course is widely regarded as the toughest course in the series and is definitely a gruelling test of endurance for even the very hardiest trail and fell runners.

Camping

Berry's Ground Lane Campsite

Why not make a weekend of it and stay at Berry's Ground Lane Campsite?

With tent, campervan/motorhome and caravan pitches available within walking distance of the Event Base and the post-event gathering, it's the perfect base for the weekend! The campsite offers spectacular views overlooking the coast (including the routes), composting toilets, and even fire pits with logs. There is limited availability and is usually a sell-out feature.

Bag storage

There is a bag drop area at this event for your personal kit. Please ensure that any bag is under 30 litres in size, waterproof and clearly labelled with your name.

Cafe

The Endurancelife cafe will be running throughout the day serving hot and cold drinks, porridge and pasta pots, bananas and other snacks.
