Race cut-0ff information

The Grizzly is approximately 20 miles and the Cub Run 9 miles. The Cub split is at Branscombe Mouth, where this year Cub runners will experience the thrill of entering the stream on the beach before heading back towards Beer and Seaton.

Both The Grizzly & Cub are running races.                                                                    

You will be required to run the majority of the route or you will not make the Shortcut & cut-off points (see table below). These will be strictly enforced on both routes, the purpose of which is to minimise the time marshalls are kept out on the course, sometimes in inclement weather, & therefore ensuring the good will of our marshals is maintained without which we could not hold this iconic event safely for you the runner.
