On 20 September 2026, the Torbay Half Marathon & 10K takes over closed roads in Paignton and along the coast, starting and finishing on Paignton Green. The route for the half marathon includes two laps of a scenic loop, while the 10K follows one lap of the same route, giving both runners and supporters views of coastline, cliffs, and the seafront. The event starts at around 9:15 AM, with chip timing, finisher medals and shirts, age group podiums, t-shirts, and full volunteer support. The course is mostly flat with gentle undulations, especially on the seafront sections, making it suitable for PB attempts and first-half marathoners alike. Community participation, local landscape, and spectator encouragement add to its appeal as one of the prominent road races in the South West of England.
