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) on Wednesday 18 June 2025. \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 to 200. Online entry closes 17 June 2025. 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 ( at Merrivale as there are several https://eversfieldorganic.co.uk/pages/eat-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\nLatest Info form the Race Organiser – entries are open! – Please refer to organiser website for details \n\n\n\nSolstice Route Map

SUMMARY:the classic Burrator Horseshoe the 27th 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
