Exeter 10K River Run

Exeter 10K River Run

The Exeter 10K River Run is an evening 10-kilometre road race organised by Exeter City Community Trust, scheduled for 26 June 2026. The event is open to runners of all abilities and is described by the organiser as a step up after a couch-to-5 km programme and as a useful distance for runners preparing for an autumn marathon. The course runs along the River Exe and is presented as traffic-free and largely flat.

Course features include riverside sections, a stretch along Countess Wear Road, a wooded section and a loop past Matford industrial estate, based on route descriptions and participant feedback. Support on the course typically includes water stations and medical assistance. Facilities reported at the finish area include toilets, a recovery area, a medical station and a bag store. All finishers receive a medal and race results are usually published via Webscorer and shared by email.

Entry information notes that England Athletics members receive discounted race entry for UKA licensed events. Charity places are available with a minimum fundraising pledge and charity runners receive a technical running top, a fundraising pack, access to online training materials and post-event hospitality. Participant reviews and ratings highlight good marshal support and organisation, and also note occasional congestion at the start and shared use of paths with the public.
