Sid Valley Ring Half Marathon
The event is a trail half marathon that follows the Sid Valley Ring walking route from Sidmouth seafront. The route begins with an uphill section and uses quiet country lanes, footpaths and back lanes before reaching the coast path.
The course reaches a high point of 236 m and drops into the village of Sidbury. It passes the hamlet of Harcombe, described as the "Valley of Hares", then climbs toward Dunscombe cliffs and the coast path with views across Lyme Bay as far as Portland and Berry Head. The route also includes a short inland section through the village of Salcombe Regis and a woodland stretch before a final downhill return to Sidmouth.
A donation from each entry fee is allocated to maintenance of the Sid Valley Ring trail. The event provides a fully marked course, two well stocked aid stations, first aid cover and a solid oak Sid Valley Ring coaster for all finishers. The route is noted for mud and several hills and is open to both runners and walkers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
