Pagan Midwinter Marathon, organised by OuterEdge Events, takes place at Chagford Cricket and Football Club in Devon (TQ13 8AS).

The programme offers two challenging distances: a Marathon of over 28 miles with more than 1500 meters of ascent, and a Half Marathon of well over 14 miles with about 700 meters of climb.
