Running Events Devon - Spooky Challenge 2026 Day 1

The event takes place on Saturday 31 October 2026 in Bridestowe, Station Road EX20 4HF. It is an eight hour timed event run on an out-and-back course along an old disused train line. Each lap measures 5.3 km and the course surface is a mix of off-road and paved sections with undulating terrain.

Organisers operate a Turn Up Get Going (TUGG) system that allows flexible arrival within the event entry window, with a fixed cutoff time for completing the final lap. Participants may complete as many laps as they can within the permitted time; those who complete at least one lap within the cutoff are classed as finishers and may collect a medal.

The event is limited to 70 entrants and minimum age is 18 years. Entries close on 29/10/2026. Entry categories and prices listed by the organiser include affiliated and unattached options, plus lower fee options without event perks or medals.

The organiser notes local accommodation at the Fox & Hounds, which offers rooms, a bunk house and camping near the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
