The Lemon Run returns on Sunday, May 2, 2027, with an expanded lineup that includes the brand-new Half Marathon. Nestled in the picturesque countryside around Newton Abbot and along the River Lemon, this multi-terrain race offers runners a unique blend of challenging terrain and stunning views. Whether you're tackling your first off-road event or stepping up to the new 21-mile course, The Lemon Run promises an unforgettable day on the trails. Participants can choose from three distances: the fun-filled 5K Dash, the more rigorous 10K Slice, and the newly added Half Marathon for those looking to push their limits. The race routes feature a mix of riverside paths, woodland trails, country lanes, rolling hills, and challenging climbs that reward runners with breathtaking vistas. Each distance is designed to test your endurance while inspiring you at every turn. Race day starts early with registration opening at 7:00 AM for pre-entered participants, followed by baggage drop-offs starting at 7:30 AM. The race briefing begins at 8:45 AM before the Half Marathon kicks off promptly at 9:00 AM, followed closely by the start of the 10K and 5K races. The Lemon Run is more than just a competition; it's an event that celebrates community spirit and supports local causes. A portion of every entry fee goes to the Life Chance Trust (LCT), ensuring runners contribute positively to their community while enjoying the beautiful Devon scenery. Whether you're seeking personal bests or simply looking for a memorable day out, The Lemon Run offers something special for all levels of runner.
