Exe to Axe Race - 22 Miles

Exmouth, United Kingdom • 12 Apr 2026

The Exe to Axe is a challenging 22-mile trail race held annually along the scenic South West Coast Path from Exmouth to Seaton, England. Known for its tough terrain and approximately 4,000 feet of ascent, it was once ranked the 9th best race in the UK by Runners World. The event offers two race options: the full 22-mile solo or relay race, and the more demanding Sid to Axe half-race. The course features multiple checkpoints with water and snacks, and finishes on Seaton beach near the Mariner's Hotel, which provides amenities for runners. The race is chip-timed and organized by Sidmouth Running Club. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
