East Devon Round 2026 - event overview
The East Devon Round 2026 is a trail running festival in East Devon held over the first bank holiday weekend of May. Event headquarters and camping are based at Offwell Village Hall, Offwell, Honiton EX14 9SE. The programme spans three days: a Friday evening storytelling and meal, race day on Saturday, and a Sunday Big Breakfast with a Mini Round. All events run under UK Athletics rules.
Age and safety guidance follow England Athletics and Trail Runners Association recommendations. Younger runners have distance limits up to age 19; entrants aged 20 and over have no maximum distance. Routes will be marked, but runners are expected to be able to self-navigate using GPX on a watch or similar device. Courses use Geo Tracks for live tracking.
