Organiser's Description
The Crossing - We’ve increased the distance for 2019, with a new finish line and Event Centre at the Ivybridge Rugby Club - 36.5 miles across Dartmoor, North to South. An aspirational baby ultra. It’s a tip-toe into ultra-distance running.... but it’s far from easy. It's Dartmoor at its best. Experience the wilderness of the High Moor, the beauty of the periphery. Visiting the moorland villages of Belstone (start), Postbridge, Princetown, and South Brent (finish), the route includes just 900m of ascent.
The Great Escape - Starting from Princetown in the heart of the Moor, the route takes in the last 15.5 miles of The Crossing, with big wide open spaces, and traverses a remote moorland wilderness along the Abbot’s Way.
