The Dartmoor Way 100 – The Full Circle

The Race will follow the freshly waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route. The Route skirts the periphery of the whole of the northern and southern sections of the Moor, taking in many wild and ancient tracks and trails. The route also includes the more well-known landmarks, and many of the idyllic moorland villages, following woodland and riverside trails, green lanes and quiet country lanes. The Race is a continuous non-stop event. Competitors must visit the 6 indoor checkpoints to complete the event successfully. Checkpoints are generally village halls, where you will be well fed, watered, and encouraged onwards by our fantastic team of  OuterEdge crew members.. always enthusiastic and exceptionally knowledgeable. As they are all runners themselves they know the craic.. 34 Hours is the maximum time allowed to complete the race. It may seem generous, but don’t be fooled, there is over 4000m of ascent to contend with, over sometimes rocky, tussocky, boggy, typical Dartmoor terrain. The event is taking place in late Autumn and as such the weather can be unpredictable with cold and rain, possibly snow. The conditions can be harsh at times, and there will be a night section to contend with. We expect the first runners to be back in Okehampton in around 23 hours, but we think most runners will take 26-32 hours to complete. The Dartmoor Way 100 requires competitors to be physically fit with ultra distance running experience and with the ability to navigate maps, GPS, GPX files or a combination of all of these. Competitors will be monitored throughout the event using GPS tracking devices. This is a safety requirement but also allows friends and family to view their progress online throughout the race. Bespoke Finisher’s medal on completion of the race. Also bespoke trophies to First, Second and Third male and females plus Age category prizes.
