The Loop 20 Mile Trail Run 2026

The Loop! 20 Mile Trail Run begins on the sand at Broadsands Beach, taking runners and hikers over a challenging 20-mile route in South Devon. The course utilizes the South West Coast Path and countryside trails, featuring mixed terrain, approximately 4,000 feet of elevation gain, and a 9-hour time limit. The route travels inland through Churston, Galmpton, and Greenway, proceeding into Long Wood and Hoodown Wood before crossing the steam railway en route to the River Dart and Kingswear. From Kingswear, it connects with the coast path, crossing woodland cliff paths past coves, beaches, and hills, then passing through Brixham Harbour before rejoining the trails for the finish. The event is cup-free; participants must carry a cup or bottle for aid station refills.
