Hameldown Hammer

It's also the 8th Edition of the Hameldown 7EVEN - ‘The Long 10k’. With the new route it's now 8 miles! The two iconic Dartmoor trail races start and finish in the village of Widecombe-In-The-Moor, at the foot of the Hameldown ‘massif’ and surrounded by some of Dartmoor’s most iconic granite tors. The Hameldown Hammer, is another tough, challenging trail race, designed to be a serious test of endurance. The Hammer has a total ascent of over 800m. It is 98% trail, over a series of well-defined, grassy, rocky, sometimes muddy tracks and through forestry glades. Most significantly, there is a double ascent of the Hameldown Ridge. The Hameldown Hammer trail half marathon rises high and steep. It affords spectacular views of the Moor and Tors, with some of the best trail running Dartmoor has to offer. The shorter race, Hameldown 7EVEN – The ‘Long 10k’, has in excess of 450 metres of ascent and still includes a double ascent of the Hameldown ridge. Both courses will be fully marked and marshalled. Newly designed bespoke MEDALS to all finishers. Bespoke Event T-shirts available to purchase. So……….. Can you nail the Hameldown Hammer? Or will you get HAMMERED!?
