Exeter Trail Races

The Exeter Trail Races return for a third year at Escot Park in Devon. The event uses off road routes around the grounds of Escot Park and includes a mix of trails with several short climbs and often muddy sections. Canicross categories are available for both distances.

The courses are arranged as laps of the same route:

10K single lap, about 10.5 km, approx 170 m elevation
Half marathon two laps, approx 21.1 km, 340 m elevation

The event provides medals for all finishers or a charity donation alternative, and it uses RFID chip timing. Category prizes and podium awards are offered, with specific veteran categories and some team awards. Professional photographs are taken, with basic images provided and higher resolution images available for an additional charge. Food and drinks are available from event caterers. Free parking is provided on site. Public liability insurance and professional first aid cover the event.

Age requirements vary by race. The organiser provides route maps and additional event information to entrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
