Exmoor Coastal Trail Run
The Exmoor event at Martinhoe on 8 May 2027 is a trail running day within the Endurancelife 2026-27 season. The organiser describes the courses as among the toughest in the Series and a gruelling test of endurance. Runners can expect extreme terrain including grass, rock and forest, with sections across open moorland, wooded combes, cliffs, rivers, historical ruins and coastal running.
The event includes a pre-event online check-in about two weeks before the race. During check-in participants confirm personal details, including an ICE contact, and view a mandatory event safety video. Finish positions at the event earn points that contribute to the Season Leaderboard; points are awarded based on performance and count toward the overall season score.
Course data for each category is provided by the organiser and shows substantial ascent on all routes. Distances are offered in multiple categories to the following specifications:

- Half Marathon 13.3 mi 2822 ft ascent
