Event overview
The Hare Challenge is a timed running event held on 17 January 2026 in Bridestowe, Devon (Station Road, EX20 4HF). The event uses a looped out-and-back lap of 5.3 km on a former disused train line. The route is described as undulating and uses off-road and paved surfaces. Runners and walkers may complete as many laps as they can within the allowed time limits; finishers receive a medal.
Practical information
The event is limited to 70 entrants and has a minimum age of 18 years. There are two start groups with different time limits: one group has a 7-hour allowance and the other a 5-hour allowance to complete their final lap. Entries close on 15 January 2026. Entry fees are listed as Affiliated £32.00 and Unattached £34.00. Organisers note limited places and that late entrants, if capacity has been reached, will receive a bespoke medal from those available on the day.
