DEVON 10,000 & WESTCOUNTRY MILE
Wednesday 24th June 2026
-
As many of you will be aware, the Met Office has issued an Amber Weather Warning covering much of this week, with high temperatures currently forecast for Wednesday evening.
At present, the event remains under review. We are closely monitoring the forecast and are liaising with Devon County Athletics Association, our medical advisor and Exeter Arena to assess the latest information and any measures that may be required.
Our aim is to make a final decision on whether the event will proceed, and in what format, by close of play on Tuesday. If the event goes ahead, we would also look to confirm start lists and race details at that time.
Please note that the provisional timetable currently published on the website may be subject to change. Depending on entries and conditions, we may look to condense the programme where possible.
If you already know that you do not intend to run, we would be grateful if you could let us know. This will assist us with planning and any potential adjustments to the race schedule.
We appreciate your understanding. Our priority is to strike the right balance between the safety and welfare of participants, officials and volunteers, whilst also giving the event every opportunity to go ahead safely if conditions allow.
We will provide a further update no later than Tuesday evening.
Ideally footwear should comply with World Athletics rules i.e 25mm maximum sole thickness, but non conforming road shoes will be allowed for this event if you have no alternative.

MIKE FEIGHAN MEMORIAL TROPHY
We are very pleased to announce that a Mike Feighan memorial trophy will be awarded to the fastest man and lady at this years Devon County Track 10,000m.
This is very fitting as Mike was a great supporter of Devon County AA…he was the Devon cross country manager for several years… I know some years he was on a minibus at 4am to get to the inter-counties in Nottingham, to then travel back the same day and run the Grizzly the following day!! I also remember him pacing the 10,000m A race one year and then doing the B race straight after as the original pacer had dropped out. Such was his desire to help out other fellow runners.
Simply a great runner and a great bloke ❤️ We are proud to honour him in this way.
