Introduction

The Exmoor National Park is home to the last event in the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Running Series, and as the most challenging of the 5 courses makes a fitting finale to this awesome series. The event takes place on the 12th April 2008 and is open to runners of all abilities over the age of 16. There are three distance categories; 10K, Marathon and Half Marathon. With several age categories and many spot prizes every competitor has the possibility of claiming their share of the £1000 prize pool. If you aren’t one of the lucky prize winners, you always have a cool event Tshirt, finishers medal and a great experience to take home with you.

Please Note: In order not to put this sensitive landscape under undue pressure we limit the number of places, so to avoid disappointment please book early.

Terrain

Exmoor is one of England's best kept secrets. It straddles parts of West Somerset and North Devon, and is actually a patchwork of different landscapes, encompassing wild uplands, thickly wooded combes (valleys), ancient farms, sheltered villages and a stretch of coastline - with its dizzying hog's-back cliffs - that is unsurpassed. This is trail running territory at its best.

Crossing tracts of open moorland, beside fast-flowing rivers, through ancient woodland and along the dramatic coastline - there is probably no course in Britain that offers such a variety of terrain within such a compact area.

Just take a look at the elevation data below - this course is a monster and will certainly separate the men from the boys!
