Exmoor Race

Start / Finish

Start/finish and race control is on Exford Green, Exford, Somerset, TA24 7PY.

Teams are responsible for their own transport to & from Exford. Note that parking is not inexhaustive so we encourage team members to pile into as few vehicles as possible.

Getting hold of a minibus or people carrier for the weekend would be a good idea.

Exmoor Evening Meal

The organisers invite all participants to a free evening meal to be held on Exford Green on the Saturday evening after the race.

There will be a paying bar and the cost of the meal for non-participants is £20 per head.

Prize-giving will take place at this meal which will begin at 20:00. Once again, teams are responsible for their transport to & from the evening meal.

Exmoor Accommodation

The organisers can guarantee that you will be in need of a good scrub by the end of the event – hence we strongly suggest that you arrange comfortable accommodation for Saturday night so that you can grab a hot bath before enjoying the evening meal and prize-giving.

We suggest that you arrange Saturday night accommodation in Exford or nearby villages Simonsbath, or Withypool.
