Event 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.

Train slow

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

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

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