Event Details

The Exeter Trail Races take place in Escot Park, Devon. The event is in its third year. The course is completely off-road, on trails within the park grounds.

Course Information

The races consist of two main distances, which are also available as canicross (running with a dog) categories.

  • 10K (approx. 10.5K): One lap of the course with an elevation of approximately 170m.
  • Half Marathon: Two laps of the 10K course, with an elevation of approximately 340m.

The off-road route includes climbs and often has muddy sections. All finishers receive a medal, and there is an option to donate the medal value to charity instead. The event features chip timing, professional photography, and on-site catering. Free parking is available.
