Event overview
The Sidmouth Four Trigs is an off-road trail race held on Sunday 8 February 2026 at The Watersports Hub, Sidmouth EX10 8BG. The course is approximately 27 km (about 16.8 miles) and includes roughly 914 m (about 3,000 ft) of ascent. Each runner must visit four trig points in order - High Peak, Beacon Hill, Buckton Hill and Weston Cliff - and there are a few additional check-points. Runners may choose their own route between the trigs, with excessive road use discouraged. The route is a loop that finishes at the same location as the start. All event profits are donated to Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
