Event overview

and you can be sure that all five routes of our Exmoor trail running event take in the very best that the area has to offer. Our routes take runners along the South West coastal path, which means stunning views and savage climbs will be plentiful. The Maverick Exmoor X-Trail race is not for the faint-hearted, but we know that trail runners of all abilities will be capable of completing one of the five distances on offer if they commit to the challenge ahead and put their mind to it. The route starts at Caffyns Farm and heads along the coast path at Lynton, you will be met with towering cliffs and stunning sea views across to South Wales. Soak up the stunning sounds of seabirds nesting on the cliffs. As you venture along the coast, you will enter the valley of rocks, a superb section of coast path well known for its herds of feral goats. The route then sweeps back inland towards some special forested sections. Following the River, and taking in waterfalls, there are many other hidden gems on the Exmoor Ultra, we don’t want to spoil it too much for you, so come and join us! Adventure awaits.

This event is part of The Maverick Exmoor X-Trail.
