About the race
The Exe to Axe is a trail running event on 4 April 2027 along the South West Coast Path between Exmouth and Seaton on the Jurassic Coast. It is organised by Sidmouth Running Club and offers multiple formats on the same day.
Participants can choose from:
- 22 mile Exe to Axe full course following the coast path.
- Relay teams of 2, 3 or 4 covering the full course.
- 11 mile Sid to Axe covering the second half from Sidmouth to Seaton.
Registration and race administration are based at local venues near the starts. Online entries are available through SiEntries. Entry fees are listed as £36 for the full course, £46 for the relay and £28 for the Sid to Axe, with a £2 supplement for non affiliated runners; optional transport to the start is offered for an additional fee.
The course is described in four stages with aid stations at Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Branscombe. Aid stations provide drinks, some snacks and toilets; runners are asked to bring their own cup or bottle where possible. There is a race cut off with intermediate cut offs at the aid stations; runners who do not make cut offs will be withdrawn and assisted back to the finish.
The finish area is on the Seaton promenade near the Mariners Hotel where finishers collect medals and subject prizes and age category awards are presented. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
