Sidmouth 10km

We are delighted to welcome back Bradleys Sidmouth Estate Agents as event sponsors for the second consecutive year. Their continued support plays an important role in strengthening our marshalling team and enhancing the overall race experience for runners and spectators alike.

The Sidmouth 10K offers a fantastic and scenic route, starting at Sidford Social Hall before meandering through the full length of The Byes, a beautiful green corridor that guides you towards the seafront. At the end of The Byes, the route heads into the well-known Hilly Loop, where you’ll tackle Hillside, Beatlands, and Cliff Road. For this challenging section, expect steep climbs and rewarding descents in both directions!

Once you’ve conquered the first pass of the Hilly Loop, the route brings you out onto the stunning Sidmouth seafront, offering a striking contrast to the earlier wooded paths. After turning at the promenade, runners retrace their steps — including the second ascent and descent of the Hilly Loop — before rejoining The Byes for the final stretch back to Sidford Social Hall.

With riverside scenery, coastal views, and a memorable mid-course challenge, this route offers supporters plenty of excellent vantage points to cheer you along from start to finish.

This race takes place solely on roads and hard-surfaced footpaths. As the route follows public footpaths, please be considerate to other users — whether they are on foot or bicycle. Warning signs will be in place to alert the public.

The event is chip timed and includes a fantastic finisher’s medal (if you choose to receive one).

For ‘No Medal’ entries: To reduce waste and be as environmentally friendly as possible, we avoid ordering medals for runners who don’t wish to receive one. Entering under the ‘No Medal’ category is slightly cheaper. If you would like a medal, please ensure you enter early and keep an eye on social media for medal cut-off dates.
