Checking the course for Norm’s Helium Loops ahead of the event this weekend.
High Peak, near Sidmouth. It’s our favourite location on the Devon section of the Jurassic Coast. It requires a short diversion from the South West Coast Path to reach the trig point, but well worth the effort! 😍
Definitely feeling more like spring out there today ☀️☀️

Thanks to everyone who joined us on Dartmoor yesterday for the Winter Traverse. We had sleet, snow and even a little bit of sunshine!
Big thanks to the safety team and all the lovely volunteers who help to make events like this possible. See you on the next one!
Jez took his camera for a lap around Norm's Helium Loop just before the storm arrived.

Full details and entries through our website.

We have a new venue for the Sir Walter Raleigh Round Half Marathon and Third Marathon.
Hot showers, changing facilities, cafe and bar at the newly finished Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club. We are super excited about being the first group to use this venue. We’re sure you’ll love the new finish too!
Less than 40 places left now. Get yours soon!
Just a little reminder for anyone doing the East Devon 8 or 5 Trigs this weekend. You MUST NOT attempt to take the short cut by wading across the mouth of the river Otter. Increased tidal flows due to the flood restoration project and recent rain have made this very dangerous.
A tour of the Norm’s Helium Loops course with Sam, the ever psyched Springer.

James Graham absolutely smashed the record for the Devon Coast to Coast (Two Moors Way).
He endured a very hot day crossing Dartmoor and heavy rain overnight on Exmoor. A new Fastest Known Time of 22hrs 51 minutes and 59 seconds!
An incredible achievement 💪🏼💪🏼

Pretty broken after nearly 27hrs on the go, I opened my phone to see a load of messages from worried people. My tracker had stopped recording 5hrs earlier. With the end in sight, somehow my sense of humour was still intact.
“Nothing to it” 😂
Thanks Paddy Buckley, your round is a monster. I hated it at times, but I bloody loved it!
