← Exeter Live Better Marathon

Last year the Exeter Marathon returned after an absence of 20 odd years and was relatively low key with a smallish number of 200 runners signing up. This year that number doubled and had equally as good weather. The course began this year from Exeter Citys football ground and after a couple downhill miles running down the High St it ended up down on the Quay and three flat laps from one end of the Quay to the Swing Bridge and back again. Plenty of water stops for bottled water. No gels or sweets but this was mentioned in the email and race brief. Great support along the route. Finishers received a cotton tshirt, bespoke medal, a protein bar or shake and plenty of free downloadable race photos. Recommended for sure
