The Dartmoor Way - Granite 50

The DW Granite 50 skirts the eastern section of the Moor and crosses several sections of open moorland. The race begins in Scoriton on the High Moorland link section, in the South of the moor. From here it follows the waymarked trail south and then in a gradually Northern direction towards Bovey Tracey, Manaton, Moretonhampstead, Chagford and onto the finish in Okehampton. The Dartmoor Way 50, is a tough challenge. It’s 51 miles and although just over half the distance of the 100, it’s a serious undertaking. The DW50 is not an easy race at all.. Its’s not a walk in the park. It’s a long run in the National Park..! It is the equivalent of running two marathons, over sometimes quite rugged terrain in parts and with over 2000 metres of ascent. Experience of running trail marathons is a minimum requirement for this event. Race starts from Scoriton in the South of the Moor. There is a maximum time allowance of 15 hours. Over 2000m of ascent with 3 full checkpoints offering hot food and refreshments. Hot Food and drinks available to purchase pre and post-race from the on-site kitchen. GPS Tracking of all competitors for runner safety and family ‘entertainment’! GPX Files will be available to download. Bespoke Finisher’s medal on completion of the race. Also bespoke locally made Granite trophies to First, Second and Third male and females, plus Age category prizes.
