Lone Wolf South West 2026

Lone Wolf South West is a 24-hour looped ultra held in Haldon Forest near Exeter. Runners begin a fresh 6.7 km lap each hour, on the hour. The meeting point is Exeter Racecourse in Kennford, with the race commencing late morning after registration. The core rule is simple: complete each loop within 60 minutes, or your race concludes. Any time remaining before the next start can be used for eating, resting, changing gear, or regrouping. The course follows a Haldon Forest loop; the organiser mentions the GPS file indicates 6.67 km due to a slight recording inaccuracy near the finish. The event welcomes both beginners and elite runners. Dynamic Adventures characterizes it as a social run where participants assist one another between laps. This camaraderie has limits: after 23 timed laps, the 24th lap becomes a direct race to the finish, determining the single Lone Wolf Champion.
