Now in its 5th year, Race the Tide is in the glorious setting of the Flete Estate, Mothecombe, Devon. We are hosting 3 races that cater for runners of all distances :-

To Race The Tide successfully you need to run at an average of 4mph.

• A predominately Woodland Trail of 8.5 miles on the private Flete Estate, racing the tide at 7 miles, with 2 aid Stations.
• A 15.5 mile LONG half-marathon racing the tide at 7 miles, with 4 aid Stations.
• A LONG marathon of 28.5 miles racing the tide at 19.9 miles, with 7 aid Stations.

The courses combine to provide a mixture of private footpaths beside the quiet estuary, bridle paths, coastal paths, quiet country fields.
