SUMMARY:Summer Solstice - Dartmoor Fell Series
DESCRIPTION:Happy runners!\n\n\n\nAmazing Merrivale start\n\n\n\nColin says… \n\n\n\nWe’re delighted to be organising the Summer Solstice Fell Run once again\, which will start at 7pm (or 6pm for juniors). \n\n\n\nThe senior (18+) race is 9.5k.  \n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to be competent at navigating in all potential Dartmoor weather conditions.  \n\n\n\nEntry will be online once site open \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIf there are places left\, you can register on the day at registration. On the day entries will be charged £10 cash.  \n\n\n\nNumbers are limited. Entries are not transferrable. There will be a wide range of age group categories in 10 year increments. \n\n\n\nThe route will be marked in places in order to avoid ground nesting birds and the firing range. We reserve the right to abandon or shorten the course on the day in the event of bad weather. Please wear adequate clothing. Prize giving for the senior event will be at 8:30pm. \n\n\n\nToilet facilities\, refreshment and car parking will be available. Please bring your own water bottle. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSWFellrunners says… \n\n\n\nA fab race now organised by Colin Kirk potter but origins from Andy Houghton .Offering just under 6 miles of fabulous hills on the evening of the Solstice. Set in the magnificent Merrivale valley. We normally host 3 races here but this year we are using other locations to spread across Dartmoor. \n\n\n\nParking is normally in one of local farmers field for a small donation to charity. Easy to find as its right next to Dartmoor Inn\, Merrivale. All races start a little walk up from the car park on the edge of the quarry. Normally juniors around 6;00 for U9/U11 combined and U13/U15 combined ( entry on day). Seniors start normally 7:00pm. \n\n\n\nRoute is very testing in the first mile with a very steep rise to Middle staple tor before the welcome turn right and the ease of gradient onto the ridge to Higher staple and roos tor. It follows a gently undulating path across the ridge until a sharp marshalled turn left towards a distance stone wall corner / ford and the persistent slope of White tor. \n\n\n\nThe descent from this is very very fast all the way down to a stream ford – take care though as front competitors have got carried away with racing and missed the route here! Across a field then the long gradual but breathlessly runnable ascent back up out of the valley to regain middle staple. Just a simple matter of a steep 1k descent to the finish. \n\n\n\nNormally a great atmosphere with trestle tables and pub refreshments. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSolstice Route Map

SUMMARY:The Classic Burrator Horseshoe the 28th edition
DESCRIPTION:Here it is again. The classic runners and family day out. Meavy Oak fair combined with junior races and the senior classic Burrator Horseshoe. The route for the main course is well known. Start in village and after the sprint to the filed about 600yds you quickly work you way through woods to reach the Dam. a very short road section takes you across and back onto trail following the reservoir but not for long\, short lane up and then on the track to Sheepstor proper. \n\n\n\nThis has a couple of nice false summits until you see the imposing granite blocks and yes straight up is the advised way. \n\n\n\nCatch your breath and enjoy the view\, if your lucky\, as a fast smooth grass descent takes you to a turn that heads east towards Gutter tor Scout hut woods ( i reckon this is where you really have to concentrate)\, sorry no cutting corners here as we are missing the big bog to save some creatures.  \n\n\n\nThrough the car park and up to Gutter tor\, across the stile and you have a pleasant ridge run takes you across to Ringmoor cottage\, another stile and straight down the earthquake descent. to reach a small lane that takes you to Ford – yes its customary to run straight through and you are about 500 yrs form the finish. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBurrator route map below

SUMMARY:Cosdon - Dartmoor Fell Series
DESCRIPTION:Just the last hill to go\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelstone green finish\n\n\n\n\n\nSWFellrunners say\,\,\, \n\n\n\nAnother fantastic short route hosted by Okehampton Running Club only 3.1 miles but 300m of ascent. Set in the picture postcard village of Belstone this is normally an afternoon event alongside the village fete. Parking available at cricket club just a short walk to Race HQ at the Tors Inn. Junior races take place before seniors and its normally £1 to enter on the day. \n\n\n\nThe route is unmarked but marshalled in a couple of spots. A very fast steep downhill start to narrow footbridge and then a sharp steep run up a path through gorse and soon onto the open moor. There is a trod to follow until you reach the edge of marsh basin. Do you skirt around or do you plough on through? ‘Tis is up to you’. Tough long grass\, hummocks and heather will impede your desire to run all the way to the top\, helped by the occasion sheep trod\, keep going up until you reach the summit cairns. \n\n\n\nThe very fast descent is hair raising-ly lumpy and if you can find a trod down even better. Soon you will be quickly back onto the gorse flanked path – choose between refreshing ford or the narrow footbridge. then a wicked little 150ft rise to the village green normally sorts a few placings. \n\n\n\nGreat atmosphere at the finish and a chance to grab some village tea and cakes! What’s not to like? \n\n\n\nCourse Records – (M) Tim Lenton 28min 53 sec (F) Jo Meek 33min 55sec

SUMMARY:Selworthy Beacon Race
DESCRIPTION:Selworthy Beacon Fell Race: \n\n\n\nThe race is taking place on 19th July 2026\, involving 4 miles with 1000ft gain/loss up to Selworthy Beacon. The route starts at the Bossington National Trust car park\, in traditional fashion the route is completely un-marked. The race is to be a real spicefest\, climbing/descending 1000ft through Hurlstone Combe testing all runners climbing and nerve on the descent. Really Wild Coffee will be on site selling hot drinks.   \n\n\n\nSWFellrunners says …what a great new addition to the series- looks like a cardio test for the racers and likely to offer stunning views to all- worth a try out and earlier in the day to explore the area. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEnter here.

SUMMARY:Ivybridge 3 tops - Dartmoor Fell series
DESCRIPTION:SwFellrunners says… \nA brilliant resurrection of an old classic by Erme Valley harriers over last 3 years. Will  contain some challenging junior races routes. This will be an Wednesday evening format race. Race approx 10k and 450m of climb\, you will have stunning views over the South Hams. Last year was hot and great course with a little tarmac to get to finish at the end- so you can stretch out! \nThe route is now confirmed and agreed with the main landowners and DNPA. Parking at park and ride\, short walk to Race HQ and registration at the rugby club\, then a little warm up walk (1km) to the start on edge of moor Gr 654569 . Junior races start and finish here. Seniors races starts here but finish back at rugby club.\n \nFab senior route with a brisk start up Western Beacon then crossing open moor to loop down\, around and up to Weatherdon\, some quick track followed by a scramble over tussocks to take you to Glasscombe Ball then fast down to the stream crossing at Scada Brook\, (what goes down must come up) and a sharp rise up to Ugborough Beacon then a second stream crossing at Lud Brook\, and across to Western for a very fast descent to the finish. There are clear tracks and trods in places but sound route finding will help with off-piste sections.\n \nRoute above note walk to start after registration… is also site of start and finish of junior age groups.
