DEVON TRAIL 10K -
Our Devon Trail 10K returns for 2022 and takes in some of the very best paths on Woodbury Common. New for 2022 are team prizes and also extra half marathon & 5K distances.
The 10K is single loop course with some cracking trails, some tough little climbs & even a couple of stream crossings. The start & registration are in the stunning grounds of Bicton College. The half marathon is two laps of the same course. The 5K cuts out a big section on the common & is about 3k tarmac & 2k of trails. These events are ideal for runners of all abilities. Also new for 2022 are our kids races in the grounds of Bicton College with separate categories for Under 8s, ages 8-9 and ages 10-11

DEVON DUATHLON AUTUMN -
We had an overwhelmingly positive response to our new duathlon course at Woodbury Common. It’s a stunning location with ample free parking and the local roads & trails are quiet. With loads of space for transition we can completely avoid runners ever crossing cyclists.
The standard distance duathlon begins with a 10 km 2 lap run on tarmac & gravel paths. The bike leg is 42 km and is two laps of our sprint distance bike course on rolling roads. The Standard duathlon finishes with a final one lap 5K run or it’s an out and back 2.5K run for the Sprint.
All duathlons are non-drafting & run in accordance with the British Triathlon Federation rules.

Our mission is to deliver excellent endurance sports events to a wide range of ages & abilities. Our events include triathlons & duathlons, open water swimming, gravel and road cycling sportives & road & trail running races.
We work #CENSOR# delivering excellent events. And that is a challenge as no venue is perfect and dealing with landowners, traffic, councils, the general public & other stakeholders can be tough.
In October 2020 we moved some running races, previously co-organised as part of the Wild Night Run Series, under the Sportiva umbrella. And in August 2021 we acquired some cycling sportives, previously run by Just Event. Like all event organisers we’ve had a tough couple of years with the pandemic but are hoping for a return to near-normality in 2022.
We couldn’t deliver these events without a great team of people including Helen Simcoe Walker, Nigel Evans, Dawn Lamerton, Rachel Harvey & Tim Mockford.
