Race The Tide

Mothecombe, United Kingdom • 16 May 2026

Race The Tide is staged on the privately owned Flete Estate in Mothecombe, South Devon. The event offers three trail races to suit different abilities: an 8.5-mile Woodland Trail, a 15.5-mile Long Half-Marathon, and a 28.5-mile Long Marathon. The courses mix private footpaths beside the Erme estuary with bridle paths and stretches along the South West Coast Path, including a beach crossing at Bigbury-on-Sea and a run across the Burgh Island causeway. Expect woodland, coastal cliffs, and rolling South Hams farmland, finishing high above Mothecombe. All courses are fully marked with marshals and aid stations; cupless water, compulsory kit, and bespoke finishers’ medals complete the experience.
