Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon

Budleigh Salterton, United Kingdom • 3 Jan 2026

The Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon is a scenic 13.6-mile race starting and finishing in Budleigh Salterton, England, the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh. The course traverses quiet back lanes, unsurfaced county roads, hidden footpaths, the Otter Valley, High Peak, the Jurassic Coast, and a dismantled railway, offering a challenging route with mud and hills. A shorter Third Marathon option covers 8.5 miles, avoiding the biggest hill and coastal section. The event features fully marked routes, marshals, aid stations, first aid, and a unique solid oak coaster finisher’s memento. Participants can run or walk, with optional 16th-century fancy dress encouraged, creating a friendly and historic atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
