The Combe Crawler
Ilfracombe, United Kingdom • 23 Nov 2025
The Combe Crawler is a challenging 8.5-mile cross-country trail race held annually in Ilfracombe, North Devon. The course features steep coastal paths, woodland tracks, fields, and stunning views of the dramatic countryside. Known for its hilly terrain, the race tests even experienced runners.
The 2025 event, marking the tenth anniversary, will run the traditional route in reverse, turning previous uphill sections into downhills. Starting and finishing at Ilfracombe Football Club, the race is limited to 200 participants aged 17 and over. Fully marshaled with medical support, it offers a competitive yet scenic experience, supporting local charities South West Blood Bikes and North Devon Hospice.
