Great event, well organised, relaxed atmosphere around the admin.. very helpful organisers.
Thank you
This was my first ultra and I’m aged 59. I’ve seen videos of it in the heat, firm ground and beautiful views but keeping cool the challenge. Yesterday’s event however was a total bog-fest (till the old tin mining stoney Puffing Billy track), draining leg strength with every step, a white-out with visibility at 100 yards all day, constant drizzle. But it was glorious! Dartmoor is special in all weather. I’m definitely doing it again (even though I declared I’d never run again at the end)! Really well organised, flags at every 100 yards and a good GPS to download, lovely crew stuck out in the middle of nowhere at good aid stations and giving directions at tricky points along the way, great spirit of mutual support amongst the runners, lovely medal at the end and a pint of Jail Ale from the Dartmoor brewery available at the bar at the finish.
Really glad you enjoyed the event Mark! It was very Dartmoorish this year.. more like November than August! It’ll probably be baking hot next time..🤷
Hope we see you again! 🙂
