About
Since 1984, we've provided care and support to people in North Devon affected by life-limiting illnesses. We started with one Community Nurse covering the area, and now support around 3,000 people every year, offering specialist care at home and at our two hospice sites, Deer Park and The Long House. The hospice's day-to-day activities are managed by a Senior Management team, as well as the other staff who work for the charity.
Catering & aid stations
Hot and cold drinks, including water stations at 12 aid points along the course. Post-finish: complimentary cream teas and light refreshments in the race village.
Pacers
Pacemaker groups will be available on race day with target times published on the start/finish corrals (start waves). Pacers carry flags and will help runners maintain target pace — follow their guidance for best results.
