Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon

The Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon is a scenic running event that takes place in Budleigh Salterton, celebrating the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh. The half marathon covers a distance of 13.6 miles, featuring a diverse route that includes quiet lanes, unsurfaced roads, footpaths, and stunning views of the Otter Valley and Jurassic Coast. Additionally, a shorter Third Marathon option of 8.7 miles is available, which bypasses the steepest sections.

Participants can expect a fully marked course, aid stations, and a special memento 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.
