Race The Light

Race The Light is a winter trail race held at Mothecombe on the Erme Estuary in Devon, England, returning for its ninth edition. The event offers an 8.5-mile Classic route through shadowy estuarine trails across the private Flete Estate, finishing with a steep uphill to the finish. A Half Marathon option adds roughly five more miles, including a South West Coast Path section and a final estuary crossing with a 3.25-hour cut-off for the return crossing.

The course is fully marked and marshalled, with on-course first aid and a bespoke finishers medal. Wet feet are common due to tidal crossings; head torches are mandatory. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
