Exeter Trail Races

The event returns to the grounds of Escot Park in Ottery St. Mary, Devon. It features off-road trail running with a mix of climbs and usually some muddy sections. The course runs around the estate and uses the same loop for both main distances.

Race options:

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

Canicross categories are available for both distances, allowing runners to compete with a dog. Age minimums are specified for each race. Timing is by RFID chip and all finishers receive a medal or can opt for a charity donation instead of a medal. Podium prizes and category prizes are awarded across age groups and canicross categories.

Event services listed include professional first aid, public liability insurance, event caterers, professional photographs (social media resolution free; high-resolution downloads available for a charge), and free parking. The organiser operates a one prize per person policy with top overall finishers excluded from category prize positions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
