The Salmon Run Ultra

The Salmon Run Ultra is a 43-mile ultra-distance running event held along the Exe Valley Way from Exmouth to Dulverton, celebrating the challenging upstream journey of the endangered Exe Atlantic river salmon. The event also features a non-competitive team relay with sections ranging from 2 to 12 miles, where teams symbolically carry a salmon baton. The course follows scenic river paths and includes community festivities such as live music, games, and ceremonial performances.

Organized by Wild Running in collaboration with Tidelines, the run raises awareness about salmon conservation and river health, supporting efforts to restore the Exe River ecosystem. All participants receive medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
