The Dartmoor Marathon
Supported by Flapjackery 

Get ready to take on the stunning landscapes of Dartmoor in The Dartmoor Marathon supported by Flapjackery - this is a road race like no other! Whether you're an experienced marathoner or tackling the distance for the first time, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience.

The marathon starts and finishes in the picturesque market town of Tavistock (the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake) and winds its way through the breathtaking Dartmoor National Park.

Expect smooth roads, challenging hills, and spectacular views of rugged terrain as you pass iconic Dartmoor landmarks, including Princetown and the historic Dartmoor Prison. The course also takes you around the tranquil Burrator Reservoir, where the only interruptions may be curious Dartmoor ponies!

Secure your place at the start line for the first-ever Flapjackery Dartmoor Marathon.

Mark your calendars for Sunday 12th April 2026 - this is a road-running event you don't want to miss.
