The Combe Crawler

The Combe Crawler is a challenging 8.5-mile (13.6 km) cross-country race held annually in Ilfracombe, North Devon. Known for its hilly terrain, the course features steep coastal paths and stunning countryside views, making it a true test of endurance for runners of all abilities. The race typically takes place on the last Sunday of November and attracts up to 200 participants aged 17 and over.

Celebrating its tenth edition in 2025, the event will feature a reversed route, turning previous uphill sections into downhills. All finishers receive a souvenir, with additional prizes awarded in various categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
