Otter Rail and River Run
Sidmouth, United Kingdom • 5 Jul 2025
The Otter Rail and River Run is a scenic off-road 10km race held annually at Tipton St John Playing Field in Devon, England. The undulating course follows public footpaths and rights of way through the picturesque Otter Valley, running alongside the River Otter, through Harpford Woods, along the old Sidmouth railway line, and out to Fluxton before returning to the village. The event also features a fun run of approximately 1 mile, suitable for all ages, with adults advised to accompany young children due to cows in the fields. Organized by the Tipton St John Playing Field Association and Sidmouth Running Club under ARC rules, the race offers a friendly atmosphere, prizes for all fun run finishers, and Otter Brewery beer for 10km finishers aged 18 and over. Camping is available on-site during the event weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
