Running Events Devon - Hare Challenge 2026 Day 1

Running Events Devon would like to invite you to come and run with us.

At our new venue, the Hare challenge event is being held on the Saturday 17th January 2026

We still have our 2 start times an 8:30 start with a 7 hour cut off, and a 10:30 start with a 5 hour cut off.

Absolutely all abilities of runners / walkers can take part in our events as you have 7 hours to get to the finish of your final lap, each lap is 5.3k out and back, of our scenic route on an old disused train line.
Everyone is welcome whether you are planning to walk or run, whether you finish 1 lap, 4 laps or even 14 laps in the permitted time, we would class you as finisher and a winner, and you can collect your Medal for the event.

Please come and have a try and see how far you can go.

Places are strictly limited so please do not leave it too late to enter, if and when we reach capacity anyone entering after, will get a bespoke medal of their choice of the ones that we have with us on that day.

If looking for somewhere local to stay we can highly recommend the Fox & Hounds, they have rooms available as well as their bunk house and camping, the food is also highly recommended.
