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, rough grass, heather, and a fast, technical descent. The event includes junior races and offers a friendly atmosphere with village festivities, refreshments, and prizes for top finishers. Parking is available nearby, and entry fees are modest, reflecting the race's community spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
