Devon Trail Races

View all races for Oct 2026

Devon Trail Races take runners around the scenic trails of Roadford Lake, with a 10K and Half Marathon alongside canicross versions of both distances. The traffic free routes explore the countryside surrounding the reservoir, taking in lakeside paths, woodland trails and varied off road terrain in a peaceful rural setting.

The 10K follows a single lap with around 143m of climbing, while the Half Marathon extends the challenge over two laps of the trail course. Runners can expect an undulating route with a mixture of climbs and faster sections, while wet autumn weather can add muddy conditions underfoot. The course is fully marked and marshalled, with a feed station providing support along the way.

For runners looking for an autumn trail race in Devon, Roadford Lake provides a scenic setting for both the 10K and Half Marathon distances. Electronic chip timing records performances, while the combination of hilly trails, woodland and waterside running creates a varied off road challenge. Finishers also receive a custom medal, with post race refreshments, race photos and category prizes adding to the event experience.
