14 June 2025

Start Time : 11.00 a.m.
Number of Places : 50

The Race the Tide Long Marathon is so-called because it is 29 miles long, 2.8 miles longer than typical marathons. It is part of the Race the Tide event, which also includes options to run a Long Half-Marathon (15.5 miles) and an 8.5 mile Watery Woodland Trail race.

Race the Tide Long Marathon Route
Starting and finishing at Mothecombe, runners follow a challenging hilly course of private footpaths, the South West Coast Path, bridle paths, fields and Woodland. The route takes in both sides of the Erme estuary including the beach at Bigbury-on-Sea and a run across the causeway to the privately owned Burgh Island.

Nearing the end of the race, runners will have to race the tide at Wonwell Beach. Once across the estuary, they will run the last few miles through woods and farmland, before reaching the finish line at Mothecombe.
