These social recce runs of the East Devon Round route will be led by experienced members of the Ruby Red Running team.

Each run will cover a different section of the course and one run will cover the East Devon Round Quarter route - our 25km option, ideal for those starting out on their ultra marathon journey.

They are free to join - all we ask is that you use the links above to sign up.

We often get asked, how long each recce run will take. The simple answer is...it depends,  factors such as weather, ground conditions and the wonderful people who join these runs all impact the speed we will go on the day. Our priority is to build your knowledge of the route in a social & relaxed way, we wont leave anyone behind.

In the run up to each recce run, we will create a whatsapp group for those who have registered to organise lift shares and exact meeting locations.

Each run will cover a different section of the East Devon Round route - more info will be posted nearer the time as to which run covers which section, but all the recce runs will be based near Honiton or Axminster for easy train links.

We will use whatsapp groups to arrange meeting points and transport sharing.

The event is perfect for anyone entered into the East Devon Round, however it is not essential that you are running the East Devon Round to join.

With 3 qualified guides who have good knowledge of the area, we will be able to tailor the group according to ability during each run.

These social recce runs are open to anyone aged 18 years or older.

Nothing - our recce runs are FREE!
