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:A Guided Run: Crazy Well Loop
DESCRIPTION:Advance booking essential! \n\n\n\nAfter the successful launch of my guide book; Dartmoor Trail and Fell Running\, I have been asked to guide a few of the routes within for those less confident in finding the route\, and I am happy to do so. \n\n\n\nBurrator Resevoir is a great starting point for this 5 mile run north onto the moor\, via Crazy Well Pool\, a couple of tors\, a stone row and the Devonport Leat. \n\n\n\nPark in the carparks by Norsworthy Bridge which is free. \n\n\n\nJoin me for a slow adventure with lots of places to take photos\, learn about the local history of the area and chat about running on Dartmoor. I’m happy to sign any books on the day too and some will be available to purchase after the run also if you don’t already have a copy.

SUMMARY:A Guided Run: The Hobbit Half
DESCRIPTION:Booking essential! \n\n\n\nAfter the successful launch of my guide book; Dartmoor Trail and Fell Running\, I have been asked to guide a few of the routes within for those less confident in finding the route\, and I am happy to do so. \n\n\n\nThe Hobbit Half Marathon route concentrates on the wooded valleys of the eastern side of the moor\, and some of its quaint villages nestled within. \n\n\n\nThe 13miles involves a lot of up and down\, but is all runnable and trail shoes are sufficient. \n\n\n\nThe route heads south to Hound Tor\, then East to Becky Falls and the river Bovey. It then turns north west to Lustleigh and Hunters Tor\, before reurning via the river Bovey back to Manaton. \n\n\n\nJoin me for a slow adventure with lots of places to take photos\, learn about the local history of the area and chat about running on Dartmoor. I’m happy to sign any books on the day too and some will be available to purchase after the run also if you don’t already have a copy.

SUMMARY:Postbridge Pootle - Dartmoor Fell Series
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nSwFellrunners says… \nA new race last year – which got whoops of enjoyment. An evening format again for this year based at Postbridge. Race organiser and Run Venture founder Colin Kirk Potter. Plenty of parking in DNP car park ( get a ticket) or across in woods . there will be juniors format to be confirmed but expect 6:00pm start for U9/u11 and U13/U15. \n\n\n\nFor seniors (7pm start) a route that takes you to less visited places with stunning views\, remember kit may be required across this 10k course with 270m of climb. There will be marshals in a few spots to make sure course and road crossing safe – otherwise the course will be unmarked. \n\n\n\nThe route is reverse of what we previously explained – apologies – correct route below –  \n\n\n\nExpected route will start next to DNP car park\, taking level forest track then quickly into broken ground to Braddon lake then a sharp but runnable incline to Braddon tor ( very pock marked by cattle- good place to lose a shoes if wet) ! Then a nice circuit with a few small valleys for lower white tor\, higher white tor and Longaford tor. It will feel like you are a long way from the start put a  footpath/ trod is then followed behind the historic powder mills farm obvious heading for the large chimney – this takes back to the main road crossing to take you into Bellever woods and a straight forest track to the finish. \n\n\n\nThere is a really great ‘green’ next to the clapper bridge- great for a post race dip and a pub to celebrate your success. Just watch out for the midges… there are one or two! \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nCapture 4 tors on this route\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nSwFellrunners says… \nA new race last year – which got whoops of enjoyment.
