Race The Tide

Race The Tide is a coastal trail running event held on the privately owned Flete Estate at Mothecombe in South Devon. The event offers three distances — the Long Marathon, the Long Half Marathon and the Watery Woodland Trail — that combine private footpaths, estuarine trails and sections of the South West Coast Path, including a beach section and a causeway crossing to Burgh Island. The race is organised by OuterEdge Events and carries a TRA Race Permit, with courses fully waymarked and marshalled to suit off‑road runners of varying abilities.

All three distances are digitally timed and include aid stations on course, with a bespoke finisher medal provided to every finisher and an event T‑shirt available to purchase via the online entry system. The routes feature tidal crossings and estate woodland which introduce tidal‑timing and kit considerations, and competitors are required to follow the organiser’s safety and kit guidance. Entrants should consult the official event pages for the latest maps, GPX files, and any updates to the course or event logistics ahead of race day.
