Cosdon Hill Race

The Cosdon Hill Race, held in the picturesque village of Belstone, is a traditional fell running event organized by Okehampton Running Club. The race covers approximately 3.1 miles with a challenging 300m ascent 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 coincides with the Belstone village fair, creating a lively atmosphere with refreshments at the finish. Junior races are also held, making it a family-friendly occasion.
