Event Details
The Granite Way 10 and 20 Miles running event takes place along the Granite Way footpath and cycleway in Devon. The route offers views of Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside.
Participants can choose between two distances:
- 10 miles (one lap)
- 20 miles (two laps)
The event is described as ideal for runners training for a spring marathon or half marathon, providing a chance to test training progress. The race headquarters and start point is the Granite Way Cafe on Klondyke Road in Okehampton (EX20 1EW). All finishers receive a medal.
The minimum age for participants is 17 years on the day of the event. The event is a UK Athletics licensed race, and England Athletics members benefit from discounted entry.
Course and Support
Route maps for both distances and a certificate of course accuracy are available. Support on the course typically includes water stations and medical assistance. Facilities at the finish line include toilets, a water station, a recovery area, a medical station, and a bag store.
Participation Options
There are two main ways to participate. Runners can book their own place via the event's booking page. Alternatively, they can secure a charity place through Exeter City Community Trust, which involves a minimum fundraising pledge (£100 for 10 miles, £200 for 20 miles, excluding gift aid). Charity place runners may receive a technical running top, a fundraising pack, training materials, and post-event hospitality. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
