Devon Coast To Coast

Devon Coast to Coast Ultra and Marathon

The Devon Coast to Coast is a long-distance running event that traverses the county of Devon, connecting the south coast at Wembury with the north coast at Lynmouth. The route utilizes waymarked trails, including the 17-mile Erme-Plym Trail and the Two Moors Way. Participants cross two different national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor, on a course that includes open moorland, fields, and road sections.

The event offers four distinct distances to cater to different logistical preferences:

• 112 miles: A non-stop journey from Wembury to Lynmouth with a 38-hour time limit.
• 100 km: A section from Chagford on Dartmoor to the finish at Lynmouth with a 25-hour limit.
• 75 km: A route covering the first part of the course from Wembury to Chagford with a 14-hour limit.
• Marathon: A full Exmoor crossing from West Anstey to Lynmouth, open to both runners and walkers.

The course follows the Two Moors Way, a 100-mile trail from South Dartmoor to North Exmoor. While parts of the path are waymarked, navigation is required in certain areas, particularly on the open moors and during night sections. Participants can use GPS devices or mobile applications to follow the provided GPX files. Mandatory tracker hire is included for all participants. Organized transport is available to take participants from the finish areas to their respective start lines before each race begins. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
