Devon's Running Events invites you to join the Cider Challenge Relay, an engaging and relaxed running or walking experience set for July 24th, 2027. This unique event offers teams of two to five participants the chance to run on a privately owned farm in Devon, complete with picturesque fields, grassy pathways, wildflowers, crops, and dusty tracks. The Cider Challenge Relay is designed to cater to all levels of fitness and experience, allowing you to enjoy the scenic countryside at your own pace. Teams can participate for up to 12 hours, rotating runners as they see fit while enjoying a fun-filled atmosphere with fellow participants. Whether it's one lap or twenty plus laps within the allotted time frame, every team is celebrated as both a finisher and winner upon completion. Solo entries are also welcome on July 23rd through EventEntry for those who prefer to run independently but still wish to partake in this memorable event weekend. The farm setting provides an intimate backdrop with rolling hills and lush landscapes that offer runners stunning views throughout their journey. The event is complemented by a series of other races over the preceding Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, including shorter distances like the 5k run on July 21st starting at 7 PM and longer endurance challenges such as the 24-hour challenge beginning on the evening prior to the relay. Each race offers its own unique charm and opportunities for runners to explore different terrains. With limited spots available, early registration is highly recommended to secure your place in this delightful rural setting where camaraderie and personal achievement go hand-in-hand. Join us for an unforgettable weekend of running amidst Devon's natural beauty and vibrant community spirit.
