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 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLatest Info from the Race organiser- Entries are  not yet

The route follows a wide track which is fast and level to start but quickly gets steep as it breaks out onto open moor. a sharp rise leads to a left turn into bracken to follow a stream which is crossed to a very steep slope which keeps going for about 200ft you are now on the long convex approach to the top of the tor\,  keep going until you get to the marshal . Then a sharp right turn takes you to a little dip and a nice trod right before a very steep descent back to the gate you cam out on the moor.

SUMMARY:Meldon Fell Race - Dartmoor Fell Series
DESCRIPTION:Ready for the off\nAdam Tango Holland – 2021s winner\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMarliyn’s Meldon Madness is a brilliant race organised by Okehampton Running Club and is the first race of the series. A great short course taking in Dartmoor’s two highest peaks. Access is good with reasonable parking and toilet block. Junior races for U9/U11\, U13 and U15 other age groups run with the seniors. It is normally a mid-afternoon start\, the course starts steep on track and soon enters broken ground where you need to find the best way to the top of Yes Tor. It is quite a lumpy descent from High Willhays which can be moist in places. The track from below Black Tor is very fast and you will be back in no time! Note for veteran age groups – this event sets your age group for the whole series (to avoid swapping groups).  \nEntries\nthis is latest info from organiser- Marilyn Meldon Madness in memory of Marilyn Cooper- entries are open https://www.entrycentral.com/MarilynMeldonMadnes – Saturday May 14th – 13:00 Junior 14:00 Senior. \n\nThe race\nThis race will take you to the highest point in the south of England. The 1\,362ft ascent is tough enough to challenge any off-road runner but\, at just five miles\, it offers a rare opportunity for anyone to try their first fell race. The route is beautiful with stunning views over the county from Yes Tor and High Willhays (the highest point) before a welcome descent to Black Tor and down Homerton Hill to the finish at Meldon reservoir. \nThere are a number of compulsory checkpoints at which all runners MUST give their number to the stewards. Due to difficulty of marking the course accurately\, self-navigation is required by all runners. \nThe race is licensed by the Fell Runners Association. Whilst there is no mandatory kit requirement if the weather is looking bad then a whistle\, raincoat and hat is advisable. The race is self navigating so you may also want to carry a map and compass if not familiar with the course. \nRegistration\nRace Headquarters is at Meldon dam pay and display car park (nr Okehampton grid ref: SX 561 917). The start and finish is a short walk to the other side of the dam.  \nJunior races too – entry on the day at £1 \nThe event is supported by North Dartmoor Search and Rescue who will be present to assist injured runners if required. Please consider donating to their vital work. \nFor confirmed details\, timing\, entry and price go to race organiser’s website
