Organiser's Description

The Dark Dart Dash was one of the first races we ever organised back in Dec 2014. After a few years off it's back. We've teamed up with the Green Table Cafe who will be hosting registration & offering their excellent pizzas, hot drinks & a bar after you finish. This event is also helping to raise funds for a new childrens playground at Dartington Hall.

There are 10K & 5K single lap courses plus kids races for children aged 3-11. We've also added canicross (run with your dog options) that start just after the individual races.

The kids run courses are mostly on grass. The longer courses are on mixed terrain including gravel, grass, a little bit of tarmac and, sometimes, plenty of mud. For the kids there’s a 1K for ages 3-8yrs and a 2K for children aged 8-11. All parents are welcome to run with their kids in either race for no additional charge. We are also allowing younger children, 8 and above, to take part in the 5K but they must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

You must bring a head or chest torch and trail shoes are strongly recommended. 

Race entry includes: Professional RFID chip timing, Fully marked & marshalled routes, Stunning finishers medal, Prizes for category podiums, Water & feed stations, Event facilities & toilets, Fully trained medics, Event caterers Public liability insurance
