Salt Settlers Six Hour Race

The Salt Settlers Six Hour Race is a timed endurance event held in the scenic Lower Otter Valley near Budleigh Salterton. Participants complete as many 4.4km loops as possible within six hours on a mostly flat course with a slight elevation gain of 12 meters per loop. The race accommodates runners and walkers, offering solo and pairs relay options.

Aid stations are available after each loop, and the event base at Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club provides a café, bar, and hot showers. The race honors the area's salt panning heritage and is scheduled to avoid high tides that may flood parts of the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
