Cosdon Hill Race

The Cosdon Hill Race, organized by Okehampton Running Club, is a traditional fell running event held in the picturesque village of Belstone, Devon. The race covers approximately 3.1 miles with a challenging ascent of around 300 meters over rough, open terrain. Runners navigate from Belstone Village to the beacon atop Cosdon Hill and back, with no marked course, requiring self-navigation skills.

The route features steep climbs, fast descents, and varied terrain including gorse, heather, and marshy areas. The event includes junior races and offers a friendly atmosphere with village teas and cakes at the finish. Parking is available nearby, and entry fees are modest.
