About the race
Race The Tide is a trio of trail races held at the privately owned Flete Estate in Mothecombe, South Devon. The event offers three distances: 8.5-mile Woodland Trail, 15.5-mile Long Half-Marathon, and 28.5-mile Long Marathon. Courses blend private tracks, the Erme estuary and coastal paths along the South West Coast Path, with the marathon including a beach section at Bigbury-on-Sea and a tide-driven crossing to Burgh Island.
Runners race the tide across estuary shores and hill climbs, finishing with a bespoke medal. Digital timing, multiple aid stations, free parking, cupless water, and kit requirements accompany the challenge. Minimum ages: 16, 17 and 18; dogs not permitted.
