Our club have supported this event brilliantly in the past five years or so. Such a challenging event but very enjoyable at the same time. Every one that has completed it before has a story to tell and most recommend it and return year after year!! They have added a half for this year (obviously the nasty half) so we could get even more people there than usual!! Who’s in?!? ⛰️🗻🏔️

The Marathon starts at Exeter Quayside and follows the Exe Estuary to Dawlish Warren, this is where the Half Marathon starts, both routes now follow the Sea Wall to Dawlish and then the South West Coast Path to Teignmouth, across Shaldon Bridge to Shaldon, this first section is mainly flat tarmac with some gravel paths, from Shaldon the route is hilly trails all the way to Babbacombe Downs and the finish line. Both distances can be run or walked!

They will be adding signage and have marshals where needed on the route, however the vast majority is keep the Exe Estuary on your left and then keep the sea on your left. The Coast path is well marked with Acorn Signage.
There is the option of a £8 coach transfer from Babbacombe to your start line, in time for the start of your event.

Optional Finishers T-shirt (£10) available when you enter.
For the finishers of the event there is a BIG bespoke “City to Sea medal” and a Pasty (Meat, Vegetarian and Vegan choice).

There is an 10 hour Cut-Off for the Marathon. Marathon starts at 8am – Half Marathon starts at 9.15am https://www.windingpaths.uk/city-to-sea/
