Dartmoor Traverse (Race With No Name)

This event will appeal to people with a sense of adventure, who are looking for a scenic and runnable way to cross Dartmoor at any time of year. The event begins in Drewsteignton at the Village Hall and finishes in Ivybridge at the train station, where registration will take place at the start of the event.

The race itself will kick off from Drewsteignton Village Hall. From here, you will descend into the Teign Valley before meandering along the river's edge towards Chagford. Follow the signs for French beer and continue on towards Yardworthy Farm, it is here that the Two Moors Way splits into an Eastern and Western Section. Ultra runners must take the Western Route.

The Western Route takes runners onto the fringes of Dartmoor and onto Fenworthy Reservoir, here you will then track a cattle trod below Hameldown Ridge. You will then make your way on to Checkpoint 2 at Widdecombe, before heading back on lovely hidden river paths, past Jordon, heading for Dr Blackalls Drive and New Bridge.

From checkpoint 3 at mile 26 in Scorriton, runners will take on a tough climb up Puper's Hill before crossing the Avon via a clapper bridge. The run into the finish in Ivybridge is straightforward, following the Puffer Billy trail old tramway all the way to the finish at the train station.

The course will not be marked but there will be three checkpoints that will be well-stocked out on the course and the organisers will be monitoring your every move. It is recommended that you have done some sort of self-navigation events before taking part. The Two Moors Way is unmarked in places, so you will need to know how to read a map and use a compass, possibly in the dark if you are walking it.

When buying your ticket it is possible to select a waterproof route map for an extra £5.
