Dark Dart Dash

The Dark Dart Dash is a night trail event at Dartington Hall organised by Sportiva Events. The event supports fundraising for a new childrens playground at Dartington Hall. Registration is hosted at the Green Table cafe which will offer pizzas, hot drinks and a bar after the races.

There are single lap courses for adults and short races for children. Canicross options, for running with a dog, are scheduled shortly after the individual races.

  • 10K single lap course
  • 5K single lap course
  • 1K kids run for ages 3 to 8
  • 2K kids run for ages 8 to 11
  • Canicross options for 10K and 5K

The kids courses are mostly on grass. The longer routes use mixed terrain including gravel, grass, some tarmac and occasionally mud. Children aged 8 and above may take part in the 5K but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Parents may run with their children in the kids races at no additional charge.

Participants must bring a head or chest torch and trail shoes are strongly recommended. Race entry includes professional RFID chip timing, fully marked and marshalled routes, a finishers medal, a free beer or hot drink for finishers, prizes for category podiums, water and feed stations, event facilities and toilets, trained medics and public liability insurance. Parking is available; the car park has cameras and parking charges apply. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
