Yellow Welly Cobble Wobble

We’re delighted to announce the return of the famous Yellow Welly Cobble Wobble: a challenging off-road run taking in the epic scenery and infamous hills of the Clovelly Estate – all to raise funds for Clovelly RNLI.

You will cover around 12 miles of North Devon terrain, enjoying special access to the Estate and a chance to see areas that are normally closed off to the public. From gentle undulations through plantations and meandering woodland trails to challenging climbs and technical descents, the course promises an experience you’ll never forget. You will run through carpets of bluebells in the ancient woodland of Brownsham Woods, reaching dizzying elevations before negotiating the challenging pebbles at Mouth Mill Beach. You will climb from the high cliffs of the North Devon coastline to the clear waters of Clovelly Harbour, with stunning views of Lundy and Exmoor in the distance, before the calf-killing final challenge: a sprint finish up through the famous cobbled street.

The run has won many fans locally thanks to a winning combination of beautiful scenery, ocean views, exclusive estate access, and some fun surprises.

Entry is just £30, although we’d love it if runners took the opportunity to get sponsored on behalf of Clovelly RNLI. All funds raised go to support our vital work saving lives at sea. If you’d like to be involved but don’t fancy running, please get in touch with Clovelly Lifeboat Station – we will need lots of volunteers to help with marshalling and other roles on the day.

Online registration opening soon.
