About This Event

Mark your calendars for Sunday, 18 April 2027, as Exmouth prepares to host the inaugural Women Can Marathon. This significant, women-only event serves as a powerful commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Katherine Switzer's groundbreaking run at the Boston Marathon, a moment that forever changed the landscape of women's running. The Women Can Marathon is part of a trio of races taking place in East Devon that weekend, offering opportunities for runners of all abilities. Alongside the full marathon, participants can also choose to tackle a half marathon or a 10km race. The marathon course itself promises a rewarding challenge, largely following off-road paths that wind through the picturesque East Devon countryside, providing both stunning scenery and a genuine test of endurance. Further information regarding entry fees and registration can be found by visiting the official event website.
