Pro tips

  1. 01

    Technical coast first

    The route weaves around technical coastline before heading inland to the Devon hills, so run the early coastal miles within yourself and save something for the climbing later.

    From the description

  2. 02

    Cold, exposed January

    Typical race-day temperature here is about 7.3C, and the Beesands coast is rugged and exposed, so expect wind and spray to make it feel colder than the number suggests.

  3. 03

    Rugged, punishing ground

    The course is described as tough and punishing rather than fast, so train on trails and technical terrain and expect slower going than your road marathon pace.

  4. 04

    Small field, enter early

    The race is capped at only 500 runners and sells out every year, so get your entry in as soon as you decide to run.
