The Drogo 10
The Drogo 10 is a ten mile cross-country race around Castle Drogo, Drewsteignton, near Exeter (EX6 6PB). The course is designated BM with a distance of 10 miles (16 km) and 1760 ft (535 m) of climb. The route runs over hilly, muddy terrain and includes the section known as Hunter's Path, with views across the Teign valley. Signage will mark significant junctions and National Trust Rangers will be stationed at strategic points.
Water will be available at Fingle Bridge (about 3.3 and 8.4 miles) and at the finish. The event is run under FRA rules and principles (Licence 2026-10150) and will be held as a CUPLESS event. Awards are given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female overall, plus age category winners.
Practical notes: registration is handled on the day outside the castle and numbers are collected at the venue. Car parking is in the National Trust car parks at Castle Drogo at standard charges (free to NT members); parking on site is limited. Runners should note that dogs and headphones are not allowed and that foot baths may be used to clean shoes to reduce the risk of tree-related virus transmission.
