From Drewsteignton Village Hall, you will descend in to the Teign Valley, skirting the river towards Chagford, where you will pick up signs for Frenchbeer and head towards Yardworthy farm, where the Two Moors Way splits in to an Eastern and Western section, not to be rejoined until mile 17 at Widdecombe.

Runner must take the western route. The western route will head on to the fringes of Dartmoor towards Fernworthy Reservoir (western route) and follow a cattle trod below Hameldown Ridge (western section), then on to Checkpoint 2 above Widecombe at the road junction on Hameldown ridge..Runners/walkers head back on lovely hidden river paths, past Jordan, heading for Dr Blackalls Drive and to New Bridge.

From Scorriton Checkpoint 3.(the final checkpoint is at Scorriton Village Hall): 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.

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

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 (Yardworthy/Hameldown Ridge above Widecombe/Scorriton village hall), which will be well stocked out on the course and we will be monitoring your every move.

Will I need to navigate?
We recommend that you have done some sort self navigation events to take part, or sign up for one of our pre event recces/navigation courses. The Two Moors Way is unmarked in places, so you will need to know how to 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?
We are hoping to make this a qualification event and are in negotiation with the UTMB about this following their takeover.

How can I get back to the start?
We will provide transport to the start only (which you book separately for £15) to Drewsteignton Village Hall. Any other arrangements will have to be made by yourselves however.

What’s the deal with the bag drop?
You’re allowed one bag at Scorriton and one container/disposable bag for the finish. Only one sealed and disposable bag will be taken to Scorriton, because we can not guarantee it will reach you soon after or before you finish and because we will not be posting them on after the event. However if you have a support crew, you can leave food and gear with them, while the others will just go to the finish. Only one bag will be taken to the finish for when you arrive, 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, as well as any extra food you require. There will be plenty of food available at Scorriton village hall.

Where can I stay?
We are providing overnight sleeping facilities and parking at Drewsteignton Village Hall 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. IF YOU WANT TO STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE NEARER THE FINISH AND CATCH THE EVENT BUS NEXT DAY YOU CAN ALSO CAMP HERE https://www.harfordbunkhouse.co.uk but you will need to book in advance. This site has nothing to do with the event.
