Event overview
The Maer 10km & Half Marathon is scheduled for 26 April 2026 in Exmouth on the east coast of Devon. The event offers two distances:
- 10 km
- Half marathon
The event is described as being in its seventh year.
Course and entry details
Both routes start and finish on the same course and split after 5 km. The 10 km is a single-lap route that starts on Exmouth seafront, runs through Exmouth, then follows the coast path to rejoin the half route and returns along the coast path to the finish. The half marathon is a single-lap, multi-terrain route that runs toward Budleigh along a disused trainline, then climbs nearly 1,000 ft on the coastal path back to the finish in Exmouth. Runners must reach the 10 km/half split within a 36-minute cutoff (about 8 min/km); marshals will direct anyone beyond that time onto the 10 km route.
Entries are chip timed. An optional finisher medal is available; a "No Medal" entry type is offered at a lower price. Some on-the-day entries are sometimes available; the closing date for entries is 22 April 2026. Course record times are listed as: 10 km male 39:23, 10 km female 42:29, half male 1:34:15, half female 1:47:51. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
