Battle of Woodbury Common

About this event

The Battle of Woodbury Common brings runners to the heathland trails of East Devon for a distinctive nighttime challenge. Starting from Bicton, the courses wind through sandy, well-drained paths and quiet lanes across Woodbury Common, where head torches illuminate the way through the darkness. The half marathon tackles two laps, with the second loop offering a different perspective as full darkness settles in. Alongside the standard distances, there's a canicross option for those who prefer running with their four-legged companions. The sandy terrain provides good grip and drainage, while the rolling landscape keeps things interesting without overwhelming climbs. Kids' races earlier in the day make it a proper community gathering on the common.
