Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon

The Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon is a scenic 13.6-mile race starting and finishing in Budleigh Salterton, Devon. The course explores the birthplace and childhood countryside of Sir Walter Raleigh, featuring quiet back lanes, unsurfaced roads, footpaths, the Otter Valley, High Peak, the Jurassic Coast, and a dismantled railway. A shorter Third Marathon option (8.5 miles) follows part of the same route but avoids the biggest hill and coastal section.

The event offers a fully marked course, marshals, aid stations, first aid, and a unique solid oak coaster finisher’s memento. It welcomes runners and walkers, with optional 16th-century fancy dress adding to the atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
