Running Events Devon - Steam Challenge 2026
This event is an eight hour timed running and walking event held at a new venue in Bridestowe. It uses a TUGG system (Turn Up Get Going): participants may start at any time during the event window but must complete their laps within the overall time limit. Each lap is 5.3 km on an out and back route that follows a scenic section of an old disused train line. The course surface is a mix of off-road and paved sections and is described as undulating.
Entrants of all paces are permitted to complete as many laps as they can within the permitted time; finishing the final lap within the time limit qualifies a participant as a finisher and entitles them to collect a medal. If the event reaches its maximum entry capacity, later entries will receive a bespoke medal chosen from those available on the day.
Practical details stated by the organiser include a maximum of 70 entrants, a minimum age of 18 years, and an entry closing date of 27 August 2026. Entry categories and fees listed are: Affiliated £32.00; Unattached £34.00; Affiliated No Perks £21.00; Unattached No Perks £23.00. The stated location is Station Road, Bridestowe, EX20 4HF. Accommodation near the venue is noted, with Fox & Hounds offering rooms, a bunkhouse and camping. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
