The 2024 race will again be at Occombe Farm. Occombe Farm benefits from free car parking, a wonderful cafe and lots for the family to do.

£1 from every entry will be donated to the Torbay Coast and Country Trust, a registered conservation charity who care for over 1700 acres of Torbay's most beautiful natural spaces, including the land the race is run on.

The race will be 8 1/2 miles approximately. It is an off road race on trails, footpaths and cycle paths, the route is very hilly and often muddy (trail shoes are recommended)

Every finisher will receive a mug, bag and a piece of Christmas cake.

Prizes will be given for the first three in all categories. If you win more than one category you will receive both prizes i.e. if a male finishes first overall and is also a vet 45 they would receive both the 1st male and 1st male vet 45 prize.
