Forest Flyer

Forest Flyer is a road trail race held in Haldon Forest Park near Exeter. The course is approximately 5 miles long and follows forest tracks, footpaths and fire roads.

Entrants must be 18 years or older. The event is cupless; water is supplied at two on-course stations and at the finish, so participants need to provide their own drinking bottle or cup. Parking is not included in the entry fee and is payable on the day. On-the-day entries, if available, may incur an additional administration fee and may be cash only.

Prizes are awarded to the first three male and first three female finishers and to age category winners for men and women in V40, V50, V60 and V70. All finishers receive a bespoke memento. The event also includes the Haldon Hillclimb Championship with trophies for the fastest male and female on the final hill.

A donation from race profits will be made to Exeter homelessness charity St Petrock's. The race holds an ARC race permit status to be confirmed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
