Man vs Moor
Man vs Moor is an off-road running event based on the ancient Chains area of Exmoor National Park. Routes travel through remote moorland and use natural obstacles formed by the terrain. The course includes running, scrambling and an open water swim section across Pinkery Pond; an alternative route avoids the swim.
Distances
- 5 km
- 10 km (approx 7.5 miles)
- 10 miles
Entrant safety is managed by marshals, checkpoints and event first aid. Exmoor Search and Rescue are present on the moor. Checkpoints are placed on each route (two on the 10 km and three on the 10 mile) and there is a controlled entry procedure for the swim that can include a short hold before water entry. Water is available at the 7 mile point on the 10 mile route; water is not provided on the 5 km or 10 km routes.
The event base is at the Pinkery Centre for Outdoor Learning near Simonsbath in Somerset. Onsite facilities include free parking, toilets and event HQ refreshments. Course marking uses bright orange flags, minimal tape and directional arrows. Entrants may purchase a laser engraved solid oak finishers medal on a branded lanyard for an additional fee. Photography is provided and images are available to buy after the event with profits donated to Exmoor Search and Rescue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
