The Colyten

The ColyTEN is a scenic 10-mile multi-terrain race held in Colyton, starting and finishing at the Peace Memorial Playing Fields. Approximately 80% of the course is off-road, featuring a route along the River Coly, a steep climb through Ox Woods, and undulating woodland trails in Morganshayes. The final three miles are mostly downhill or flat, including a short road section before finishing with a lap of the playing field.

The event offers on-site facilities, water stations, and refreshments, with prizes awarded across various age categories. Organized by Axe Valley Runners, the race supports Devon Air Ambulance and emphasizes a friendly, challenging atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
