About Exeter Half Marathon

The Exeter Half Marathon is a road half marathon in Devon, known for its undulating course and strong local atmosphere. It offers a more challenging profile than flat city races, making it a solid option for runners looking to build strength or test pacing on rolling terrain.

The route takes in a mix of city roads and surrounding areas, with elevation changes throughout that reward controlled pacing and endurance. While not a typical PB course, it provides a well-supported and rewarding race experience, appealing to both experienced runners and those stepping up to the half marathon distance.

Organised by Exeter City Community Trust, the event has a strong community focus and delivers a friendly, well-run race-day experience.
