The Colyten

The ColyTEN

The ColyTEN is a 10 mile multi terrain race starting and finishing in Colyton, with the Race HQ at the Peace Memorial Playing Fields by Colyton Football Club. The course is approximately 80% off road and begins beside the river Coly, a five minute walk from Race HQ.

The route includes an initial river footpath section, a short road run to Chantry Bridge, an off road footpath and a river crossing before a steep ascent through Ox Woods. After a short descent down Jobbles Lane the route enters the Morganhayes woodland, an undulating section with a couple of steep climbs and a short road section. On exiting the woods there are about three miles remaining, largely downhill or flat with about one mile on road, before a lap of the playing field to the finish. Finishers receive a medal and refreshments including a drink and flapjack.

Numbers must be pinned to the front of the vest with personal details completed on the reverse. On site toilet facilities are available. No headphones are allowed on the run. There are two cupless water stations at about 2.5 and 7.5 miles and a three hour cut off is enforced.

Entry minimum age is 17. Entry fees are shown as £20 for affiliated runners and £22 for unaffiliated runners; on the day entries may be available. Prizes include the Phil Bayliss memorial trophies for first male and female and category prizes across senior and veteran age groups. A donation from proceeds will be made to Devon Air Ambulance. The event is organised by Axe Valley Runners in association with Colyton Football Club. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
