Definitely trail shoes! It is a mixture of grass, narrow rocky paths and a few not particularly muddy tracks. I would say the half course is interesting, the marathon course is pretty scenic. As far as spectator friendly is concerned they could quite easily meet you at various points on the route. Places of interest nearby like Slapton Sands and the memorial, nice fish and chip shop, pubs etc.
The problem could be the weather, it is February.... on the coast.... last time I did it there was high wind and hail; VERY unpleasant and many people were complaining saying the event should have been cancelled. But it is FEBRUARY ffs! I can say I loved it now (what I thought then is unprintable!).
I do like EnduranceLife events, I have done lots and cannot fault them or their customer service. I have entered this event next year and if the weather is nice then great if it is foul then bring it on!

From experience I would say that these two areas are pretty similar, I would go to the nearest!
But I have only done one Bustinskin event and was not impressed with their organisation. I have not bothered to do another
I am in North Devon as well, if you are doing the EnduranceLife Marathon we could share a lift?
Sorted!
Are you in the North Devon Road Runners?
Well? Did you get wet yesterday Steve? (or are you getting wet today in Dorset?)
