Running Events Devon - Choo-Choo Challenge 2026
The Choo-Choo Challenge takes place on Monday 31 August 2026 at a new venue in Bridestowe. The event is an 8 hour timed challenge using a 'TUGG' system, where participants may start at any time during the event's operating window and must complete their laps within the event time limit.
The course is an out and back route on an old disused train line. Each lap measures 5.3 km and follows a mixed off road and paved surface with undulating terrain. Runners and walkers may complete as many laps as they can within the permitted time; completing at least one lap within that time is classed as a finisher and entitles the participant to a medal. If the event reaches its entrant capacity, later entrants receive a bespoke medal chosen from those available on the day.
Practical details published for the event include a maximum of 70 entrants, a minimum age of 18 years, and an entry closing date of 27 August 2026. Entry categories and prices are listed for affiliated and unattached participants, with options that exclude event perks and medals at a lower fee. Organisers also note a local accommodation option, the Fox & Hounds, which offers rooms, a bunk house, and camping along with food services.
