A guided run on 20 Sep 2026 that follows the high ground around Burrator Reservoir. The route measures about 11–12 miles and uses paths, trails and open moorland. The course gains over 2000 ft and offers views across the reservoir and surrounding tors and peaks.

Practical details include free parking in the quarry carpark on the left when approaching the dam; there are no toilets in the quarry carpark and public toilets are located by the dam. Total places for the event are 25. An entry price is listed as £5.00 until 19 Sep 2026 23:59 and a service fee applies to each sign-up.
