North Devon Marathon

TAKES PLACE JUNE 27th 2010

There hasn't been a marathon event in North Devon for some 20 years. And there has certainly never been one as spectacular, beautiful and challenging as this!

Centred around the idyllic Woolacombe beach, these two races give runners the opportunity to compete over some of the most beautiful and rugged coastal scenery in the South West. The route is challenging with over 1300 feet of climbing in the half-marathon and over 3300 feet in the full marathon. It will certainly test your resolve.

The terrain underfoot will be a mixture of stone, gravel, turf, sand and tarmac over the coastal paths, cycle routes, fields, tracks, beaches and roads of North Devon. The timing will ensure that the countryside is at its best with a whole host of plants in blossom. Don't forget to watch the seals, birds and waves as you run by.

The race being held to raise money for North Devon Hospice who care for local patients and families suffering from the impact of life-threatening illnesses. By taking part in this event you are helping the hospice care for over 100 people every day. Thank you so much for your support.
