Organiser's description
The South West’s toughest night race returns for a 7th year! 10 tough, muddy, rocky, boggy miles on Dartmoor. The first five miles are mainly uphill, following the river to Shipley Bridge, with one or two brief descents to give you some respite. Then you get out onto Dartmoor - blizzards, nearly waist deep bogs, you’ll find it allin this section of the course. The second half is mainly downhill with a couple of short sharp climbs to keep you on your toes, including the notorious and very muddy Brent Hill. This is a tough race and not for the faint-hearted.
