The Exmoor Perambulation is an iconic self-navigated circular long-distance walk and trail run tracing the historic boundary of the Royal Forest of Exmoor through remote National Park terrain.
What this race demands
The Exmoor Perambulation demands sustained endurance across 48.3 km of remote National Park terrain as a self-navigated circular long-distance walk.
Sustained Endurance
Covering 48.3 km entirely on foot requires continuous aerobic capacity and muscular resilience over many hours of continuous movement.
Self-Navigation
The self-navigated nature of the circular route across remote terrain demands independent route-finding competence alongside physical progression.
Terrain Adaptability
Traversing the historic boundary of the Royal Forest of Exmoor necessitates physical stability and efficiency on varied trail surfaces.
Given the substantial duration required to cover 48.3 km on foot, athletes should consume 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the effort.
