Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon

The Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon is a scenic running event that takes participants through the picturesque countryside of Budleigh Salterton, the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh. The half marathon covers a distance of 13.6 miles, featuring a mix of quiet lanes, unsurfaced roads, and footpaths, including the stunning Jurassic Coast. Additionally, a shorter Third Marathon option is available, which bypasses the steepest sections of the course.

Both races offer well-marked routes, aid stations, and a unique solid oak coaster for finishers. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, with an optional 16th-century fancy dress theme. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
