About City to Sea 50K, Marathon & Half Marathon
City to Sea offers runners a choice of three distances across Devon's coastal landscape on 6 September 2026. The marathon begins at Exeter Quayside and traces the Exe Estuary to Dawlish Warren, where the half marathon joins the route. From there, both races follow the Sea Wall through Dawlish before heading onto the South West Coast Path towards Teignmouth, crossing Shaldon Bridge into Shaldon. The initial stages are predominantly flat tarmac and gravel paths.
The terrain shifts to hilly trail from Shaldon onwards, climbing all the way to Babbacombe Downs where the finish awaits. Runners have a 9-hour cut-off for the marathon distance and 8 hours for the half marathon. Both distances are open to runners and walkers alike, with finishers receiving a bespoke medal and a pasty (meat, vegetarian and vegan options available).
