This will be the 21st year of the Exe to Axe. The Exe to Axe is a challenging trail run from Exmouth to Seaton along the Southwest Coast Path. The race was the brain child of John Perratt, a talented local runner who you would still see near the front of a race in his 70s. John loved a challenge, which is why he created this race. Thankfully, it’s not only difficult… it’s beautiful!

This year we’re running four events in one:

  • Exe to Axe (Full) – the full 22 miles
  • Exe to Sid – the first 11 miles to Sidmouth
  • Sid to Axe – the second and most challenging half from Sidmouth
  • Exe to Axe Marathon - in aid of Sidmouth Hospice at Home

Note: if you are interested in the Marathon option, please visit the separate page for event information and entry details (https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=13980)
