Routes and key details

The 110‑mile race starts at Hartland Quay and follows the North Coast, passing Hartland Point, Clovelly, Westward Ho! and the Torridge and Taw estuaries to Barnstaple. The 110‑mile event lists nearly 6,000 m of elevation gain and requires a previous 50 km finish to enter.

The 110 km race starts in Barnstaple and follows the coast past Braunton Burrows, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Baggy Point, Woolacombe, Morte Point, Bull Point lighthouse, Lee Bay, Ilfracombe and Watermouth Cove, with the halfway point at Combe Martin. The Exmoor Coast 55 km begins at Combe Martin and finishes in Minehead, traversing Exmoor National Park and features coastal woodland, Culbone Hill (433 m) and Great Hangman sea cliff (244 m).
