The 2019 promotion is the 46th edition of this stage race promoted by the Mid Devon CC. The race origins go back to 1973 when the Mid-Devon Road Club first promoted a two-day event to mark the twinning of Totnes and Vire in Normandy.

On Sunday the racing moves to South Brent and 7 laps of a 16 km circuit – this was used, in previous editions and the Road Race returns to its traditional roots in the South Hams.
