Dartmoor is the largest area of wilderness in the south of England and one of the wildest and most challenging landscapes in the UK for a running race. The Dartmoor 50 Ultra Trail running race, Dartmoor Marathon and Yes Tor Hill Race are fully signed trail running races with great support and a distinctly wild and at times fell running feel, taking in the highest points in the south of England and some of the lesser visited tops.

Having sold out last year, we are back again. Race The Tide is in the glorious setting of the Flete Estate in Mothecombe, Devon, and we are hosting 3 races that cater for runners of all distances.To Race The Tide successfully, you need to run an average of 4mph, although there is minimal ascent in those first 7 miles. Choose between a predominately Woodland Trail of 8.5 miles on the private Flete Estate, racing the tide at 7 miles, with 2 aid stations; a 15.5 mile &quot;long&quot; half marathon racing the tide at 7 miles, with 5 aid stations; and a &quot;long&quot; marathon of 28.5 miles racing the tide at 19.9 miles, with 7 aid stations. Can you beat the tide?

This year’s Something Wild Festival, now in its third year, will be held for the second consecutive year at Huccaby Farm, nestled in a more secluded valley in Hexworthy. A perfect little haven for families and first time visitors to Dartmoor.We have chosen this spot as our tribute to trail running and our celebration of Dartmoor because it sits on a lovely bend of the River Dart and because of the facility for housing up to 400 people inside the giant cow shed, which will serve as our cafeteria and presentation venue. It also sits, rather conveniently right on the route for our main running events, the marathon, half marathon and 10km and the small chapel will serve as a rather cosy venue for our speaker’s evening. It even has a secret cavern for our children’s forest school.We aim to make it a family friendly event, so we’ll be offering children’s activities throughout Saturday, such as forest school, capture the flag and foraging workshops, as well as children’s races.This year food is not included (and we’ve brought down the festival ticket prices accordingly) so our caterers will be providing food on a cash basis.Events will get under way with the trail marathon, which has more than 3,500 ft of ascent, followed an hour later by the trail half marathon, which also includes two crossings of the Dart. Our Summit Wild Ultra, which will run parallel with the marathon, is an ideal entry level ultra, although it’s no walk in the park believe us!After Saturday’s exertions, there will be a dinner and presentation ceremony, followed by a speaker’s evening in St Raphael’s Chapel.On Sunday morning we’re holding the children’s races for those aged three to 11 followed by the 5K (for children 12 &amp; above) and 10K race at 10am.Around the running events we have a Forest school for children and their parents, workshops for nature lovers, star gazing, Wellbeing and Natural Movement, as well as a giant game of Capture the Flag on Sunday.All in all, it’s a great weekend, whether you have travelled with your family or just want to see the best that Dartmoor has to offer.
