OVERVIEW

Trail Marathon
Saturday 1st August 8.30am
Huccaby Farm, Hexworthy, PL20 6SB
TOTAL CLIMB 1325 METRES (4347 FEET)

The trail marathon is our blue ribband event. Starting and finishing at the festival site at Huccaby, it crosses the fulcrum of Dartmoor where east and west rivers meet at Dartmeet and completes a circuit of Bellever woods via Yartor, Babeny and Sherwell Farm. From here you will head east along Dr Blackalls Drive, crossing the river for a second time at New Bridge following a bone jarring descent and heading in to Holne Woods, then on in to Hembury Woods, skirting the brook before ascending the steep climb up Pupers Hill via Scorriton.

You can enjoy the long, gradual descent to Coombestone Tor and the final crossing of the river at the Huccaby stepping stones, before reaching the sanctuary and bustle of the festival site.

The route is a classic and was described by previous participants as  a Category A fell route.

The cut off time for the trail marathon is 7 hours.
