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. Participants can run the full ultra or join a non-competitive team relay with sections ranging from 2 to 12 miles, carrying a symbolic Salmon baton. The course follows scenic river paths and includes community festivities such as live music, games, and ceremonial performances that highlight the salmon's cultural and ecological significance.
Organized by Wild Running and Tidelines, the event raises awareness about salmon conservation and river health in the Westcountry. All finishers receive medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
