Otter Rail and River Run

Sidmouth, United Kingdom • 5 Jul 2025

The Otter Rail and River Run is an annual scenic off-road 10km race held in Tipton St John, Devon, starting and finishing at the village playing field. The undulating course follows public footpaths and rights of way, running alongside the River Otter, through Harpford Woods, along the old Sidmouth railway line, and through fields out to Fluxton before returning to the village. The event also features a fun run of approximately 1 mile for children, with adults encouraged to accompany kids under 8 due to cows in the fields.

Known for its great atmosphere and occasional puddles, the race offers prizes including Otter Brewery beer for finishers aged 18 and over. Camping is available on-site during the event weekend. The run is organized by the Tipton St John Playing Field Association in conjunction with Sidmouth Running Club and is held under ARC rules.
