East Devon 8 Trigs
The East Devon 8 Trigs is a self-navigation trail running event held in East Devon, starting and finishing at Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club. Participants can choose from three distances: a 21km half marathon (3 Trigs), a 42km marathon (6 Trigs), or a 53km ultramarathon (8 Trigs). The course features varied terrain, including coastal paths, valleys, and commons, with scenic views extending to Berry Head, Portland, and Dartmoor.
Runners and walkers, solo or in pairs/teams, navigate to concrete trig points—historic triangulation pillars—without waymarking, using basic navigation skills. The event offers GPS tracking, hot food, showers, and a supportive atmosphere for all abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
