Course Details
Surface: Mixed
Difficulty: Tough
Ascent: 4,000 feet
This is a challenging self navigation ultra, crossing Dartmoor National Park, with minimal ascent. At the 8 mile split at Checkpoint 1 near Yardworthy farm (also the first feed station) you must take the western split, where the Two Moors Way splits in two and rejoins at Widecombe at Checkpoint 2. There will be 3 checkpoints at Yardworthy Farm, Widecombe (mile 17) and Scorriton (mile 26).
From Scorriton It’s a tough climb but you can contour round to the left of Puper’s Hill rather than going up and over the top, crossing the Avon via a clapper bridge if you’ve picked up the correct path. The run in to Ivybridge is straight forward, following the Puffer Billy trail (old tramway) all the way to Ivybridge, where the finish awaits, at the train station.
Refreshments will be available at all checkpoints.

What about dogs?
Dogs aren’t allowed for events on Dartmoor I’m afraid and the DNPA is quite strict about this.

Yes up to seven days of the event/ No transfers will be allowed within 7 days of race day.
How can I transfer my ticket or change to a different event?
This link shows you how to transfer your place to someone else or move to another event. You can only do this up to seven days before the event. Navigate to My Orders, fill out the form and request a transfer. If your new event costs more than the original you will have to pay the difference. If it costs less, you won’t receive a refund.

Do I need to have run a previous ultra to enter the RWNN Ultra?
You will need to have completed at least a half marathon and we recommend that you have done some prior self navigation events.
Will the course be marked?
No but we will have three checkpoints which will be well stocked out on the course and we willl be monitoring your every move.
Will I need to navigate?
We recomend that you have done some sort self navigation events to take partor signp for one of our preevent recces/navigation courses. The Two Moors Way is unmarked in places, so you will need to know how ro read a map and use a compass, possibly in the dark if you are walking it.
Will my kit be checked?
Yes before the start and at possibly unspecified checkpoints along the route.
Are there any UTMB points for the RWNN Race?
Yes. We will be offering a minimum of 2 UTMB points for the RWNN Ultra but we are told this could go up to three points. We are considering this option.
How can I get back to the start?
We will provide transport to the start (which you book seperately for £15) after registration to Drewsteignton Village Hall. Any other arrangements will have to be made by yourselves however.
How can I get to the start
We are laying on buses from Ivybridge.
What’s the deal with the bag drop?
You’re allowed one bag at Scorriton and one for the finish but only one will be taken to Scorriton, while the other will just go to the finish. Both bags will be at the finish for when you arrive however, which will all get transported to the finish line. So we suggest you compartmentalize the wet stuff from the dry and spare socks/shoes etc for Scorriton.
Where can i stay?
We are providing overnight sleeping facilities and parking at Ivybridge Methodists Church on Friday 8th October. Warm food will be available here on the morning of the race and at Scorriton village hall in the afternoon/evening.
