Animal Medal Mystery Challenge Day 1 2027

The Animal Medal Mystery Challenge Day 1 is scheduled for 08 May 2027 near Capel Lane, Littleham, Exmouth EX8 2QZ. The event is organised by Running Events Devon and is a timed event with a seven hour competition period. The format uses a TUGG system (Turn Up Get Going) that allows flexible starts within the event window; all participants must complete their final lap by the official cut-off time.

The route is a measured out and back lap of 5.3 km on a scenic former railway line. The organiser states the course is accurately measured, classified as Road, and is run entirely on tarmac. The course is described as undulating. Entrants may complete as many laps as they can within the permitted time; finishing one lap or multiple laps within the time limit qualifies a participant as a finisher eligible to collect the event medal. If the event reaches capacity, later entrants receive a bespoke medal chosen from those available on the day.

Additional event details: maximum 50 entrants, minimum age 18 years, entries close 07/05/2027, permit number ARC. Entry categories include affiliated and unattached options with different fee levels and a no perks option that does not include a medal or goodies.
