Salt Settlers Six Hour Race

Salt Settlers Six Hour Race is a six-hour event staged in the Lower Otter valley near Budleigh Salterton. Runners and walkers complete as many 4.4 km laps as possible, with roughly 12 m of ascent per loop, on a flat course. Five loops equal a half marathon; ten loops, a marathon.

The route avoids tidal flooding, though some sections may be underwater at high spring tides. The event offers solo and pairs relay options, with access to an aid station after every loop. A commemorative memento is awarded, and there is an on-site cafe, bar and hot showers at Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club.

The name nods to Budleigh Salterton’s salt-panning history. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
