This summer, Woolacombe will play host to one of the UK's most formidable athletic challenges - the AONB North Devon Marathon. Celebrating its 15th year, this iconic event, set for Sunday, 30 June, isn't just a test of endurance; it's a scenic journey through some of the country's most stunning landscapes.

The Course and Its Beauty

Participants will start in Woolacombe and traverse either a 10k, half marathon, or the full marathon distance, each path winding through the spectacular South West Coast Path and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It’s more than a race; it’s an opportunity to experience breathtaking coastal vistas and rugged countryside charm.

Supporting a Noble Cause

The AONB North Devon Marathon is more than an athletic endeavour; it's a lifeline for the North Devon Hospice. Each stride taken by the runners aids the hospice in providing invaluable support to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. By participating, runners contribute to a cause that touches the hearts of many in the local community.

Celebrating Your Achievement

Crossing the finish line is an exhilarating moment, celebrated with the traditional cream tea – a well-deserved treat after such a formidable challenge. Extend the celebration with a visit to one of the restaurants we recommended in our recent 'culinary delights' article, whether it be a quiet evening in a bistro or a hearty meal at a pub.
