The 'official' route starts at the Tank Car Park. There's a few places (principally not going to the Start Point Lighthouse and cutting the corner off into Hope Cove missing Bolt Tail) that will leave your route a significant distance short of the full 26.2. Personally, I can't say 'I've run a marathon' if I've not run the full 26.2, no matter how hilly the route is.

So, I'll be adding some unofficial extensions to bring it up as near to the marathon distance as I can get (slightly over)...

42.476 less 250m at Salcombe Ferry = 42.226. Aiming for 42.195.

This UNOFFICIAL route Starts at the Slapton Turn by the big War Memorial and NOT at the TANK. It also includes a visit to the Start Point Light House. Miss either of these and your route'll be short. Just sayin'.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
