JP’s Exe to Axe 2025

6th April, 2025 @ 10:00 am

The race starts at the Foxes Hole Car Park on the Exmouth Sea Front with a mass start at 10:00. The route follows the South West Coast Path for 22 miles and finishes at the Esplanade at Seaton. This is the 21st year of the race. Originally the distance was just over 20 miles, but a landslip in June 2012 on the outskirts of Seaton has led to a detour which means the distance is now nearer 22 miles. The race has been renamed JP’s Exe to Axe in memory of John Perratt, founding member and long-term Treasurer of Sidmouth Running Club, and a huge contributor to the sport throughout East Devon.

The race is for individuals and relay teams, dogs are not permitted. There are drink stations at Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth Sailing Club, Branscombe Mouth, and of course at the finish at Seaton. There will be a back marker marshal. The route follows the coastal path all the way so keep the sea on your right and follow the acorn signs.

Relay Option 2 to 4 runners, first runner starting at Exmouth, changeover recommended at water stations. Ankle chip timer to be passed on from one runner to the next.

Chip Timing. Race numbers with chip timer on the back, will be sent out prior to the event.

Pre-Race Transport. Transport will be provided from the Finish to the Start (Exmouth) but only before the race leaving Seaton at 8:30am and on condition that a place is booked in advance. The coaches arrive about 9:30.

Entry Fees. Kept the same as last year. ARC members. Main race: £32. Relay: £42.50 per team. Non-ARC members plus £2pp.
