There will be soft drinks, coffees, teas and a selection of cakes available to purchase throughout the day from the hall but a limited service will be available from Race Briefing until 12 (the first hour of the race).

Event t-shirts will be for sale in the hall for those who have not already ordered theirs online. OuterEdge Technical running t-shirts and Hoodies.

Supporters should keep their dogs on a lead at all times but you must realise the route goes out onto the Moor and has extremely limited vantage points unless you walk a few miles from the start line.

No dogs are allowed to run with their owner in the races due to UK Athletics rules and their Public Liability Insurance, which differs to Park Runs.

• PLEASE NOTE.. at the finish, NO SHOES used for the race should be worn inside the hall or left in a pile outside the entrance door for people to trip over! Unfortunately, there are no changing rooms at the hall so your car will have to suffice. Bring plenty of options for what the weather and course throw at you!

Dartmoor has changeable weather conditions at any time of the year. So be prepared!

Because it’s Dartmoor and we are sending you out to a remote area where vehicles have limited access, the Mandatory kit is the same as in previous years.

Trail Running shoes
Backpack or waistpack
Whistle
Foil/Survival blanket
Waterproof jacket
Headcover (cap/buff)
Mobile phone with emergency number stored (numbers below)
Capacity to carry 250ml of liquid – we are cupless now so bring a collapsable cup or water bottle

We would also suggest you consider wearing leggings or a long sleeve top compared to what you would usually wear. You will encounter boggy, slippery conditions if we have had significant rainfall leading up to the event, and river levels will rise as a result. So wading up to the knee is a possibility at the River Avon crossing. Your feet are guaranteed to get wet even if the course is fairly dry! We have marshals on the course but you can quickly become cold when exposed on the Moor. So please come well-prepared for this race. There will be a quick kit-check at registration.

• Qualified paramedics from Airside Medical will attend the event

REGISTRATION Timings to register, quick kit check, collect numbers, pre-paid t-shirts, safety pins, etc are 09:00 to 10:15am. Start Time 10.30am

AID STATION (1/2 mile down the tramway after Volcano) – 6.3 miles Drinks and a small selection of snacks

CUTOFFS In previous years, everyone has finished within 3 hours and we would like to think the same would happen this year. Marshals and sweepers will be monitoring runners to ensure their safety, but our intention will be to guide all runners to a finish.

• Should anyone withdraw from the race you MUST report to a marshal who will assist you.
