Burrator Noir 10 mile & 10k
Organiser's Description
The 10 mile course starts and finishes at the Burrator Discovery Centre in Yelverton, on the SW edge of Dartmoor. The route goes through Norsworthy up to the Princetown-South Hessary track, turning left towards South Hessary Tor and continuing as far as the old railway line at Princetown. Runners will follow this for a short distance before veering off South, reaching the boundary at Burrator, then heading back through the plantation.
The 10k is a fast, flat route, almost all on tarmac and exactly 10k! Perfect for a night time PB! It starts 0.7 miles SE of the visitor centre and does one complete loop of the reservoir and 2/3rds of a second loop, before finishing by the visitor centre. Ideal for first time night runners, people not used to running off-road, or anyone who just wants a night PB on a quick course. Head torch is essential.
Also children's races - 2k for ages 8-11 years and 1k for under 8s.

We have an optional team competition. If you don’t have a team, use your club name which will also qualify for the team competition. The team’s time is the time of the first three team members to cross the line added together.
The course will be well marked, but you will still need to have your wits about you and take responsibility for your own decisions. The race is on open moorland in places and we cannot guarantee the weather!
