The Salmon Run
The Salmon Run is a unique 5K, relay and ultra run inspired by nature, following the migratory salmon route on the River Exe upstream from Exmouth to Tarr Steps on the edge of Exmoor.
3 races
Event overview
The Salmon Run celebrates the epic journey of the salmon, it’s struggle to reach it’s destination and to survive in a changing climate.
Following the success of last year’s Salmon Run, the event is partnering with Exmouth CIC Tidelines again to bring you 3 runs in one day - a run for all abilities.
If the salmon are good and healthy, the whole catchment is good and healthy, including all the other wildlife and the population that live in the catchment. The salmon is a proxy for everything. (Edwin Third, Dee River)
