Exeter Half Marathon Events

This is the 4th Edition of the Hameldown Hammer half-marathon - Devons biggest trail half marathon, and the 3rd Edition of the Hameldown 7EVEN - The Long 10k. The races start and finish in the village of Widecombe-In-The-Moor, at the foot of the Hameldown massif and surrounded by some of Dartmoors most iconic granite tors.

The Hameldown Hammer and 7EVEN rise high and steep. They afford spectacular views of the Moor and Tors, with some of the best trail running Dartmoor has to offer.

The shorter race, the Hameldown 7EVEN The Long 10k, has in excess of 300 metres of ascent and still includes a double ascent of the Hameldown ridge.

The event welcomes participants of all abilities and has a long cut-off time. Our 2017 finishing times were a broad spread from winner Elizabeth Dyson's stunning 3:20:28 through to the brave 261 Fearless girls who kept strong, kept smiling and kept going for over nine hours.

We are again partnering with Full On Sport for our online entry system. The half marathon course is one lap, the full marathon course is two laps.
