Wellington Monument Race

Quite possibly the hilliest and toughest 6.27 mile multi-terrain course on the Blackdown Hills. From The Catherine Wheel public house in the village square at Hemyock, near Cullompton, Devon, the route climbs to, and circles, the Wellington Monument, returning along the same road to finish at the local primary school. One mile of firm stone track, a steep ascent and descent of approximately half a mile form part of this undulating, hilly, scenic and rural course.
