Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon

The Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon takes place in Budleigh Salterton, the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh, a coastal town in Devon. The event offers a Half Marathon (13.6 miles) and a Third Marathon (8.5 miles). The route winds along quiet back lanes, unsurfaced county roads, little-known footpaths, the Otter valley, High Peak, the Jurassic Coast, and a dismantled railway.

The course is fully marked with marshals and well-stocked aid stations, plus first aid cover. Open to runners and walkers, it is muddy with hills and features optional 16th-century fancy dress; all finishers receive a solid oak coaster. A 5-hour time limit applies.
