Richard's Report:
Richard Piron Exmoor coastal Marathon (27.1 miles / 5200 feet climb)
5hr 35 mins. I took part in the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series (CTS) Exmoor Half Marathon on Saturday 13th April 2013 and completed the race in 03:40:10.
The race took part in Exmoor National Park and started
at the Hunter's Inn in the Heddon Valley. Exmoor National Park is one
of England's best kept secrets, and this
event takes place in the lesser known western area of the National
Park. The course encompasses stiff climbs and long descents, open
moorland, thickly wooded combes (valleys), historical ruins, dizzying
cliffs, exquisitly beautiful rivers and a stretch of coastline that is
unsurpassed. The
Exmoor course is widely regarded as the toughest course in The Series
and is definitely a grueling test of endurance for even the very
hardest trail and fell runners. The half marathon had 2,400ft of
ascent and was run along.
