Dartmoor Summer Series Maprun Golden Dagger
Yelverton, United Kingdom • 10 Aug 2025
The Dartmoor Summer Series Maprun 2025 Golden Dagger is the third of five technical orienteering events held on Dartmoor's open moorland. Designed for experienced orienteers, the courses navigate a challenging terrain featuring pits, rocks, gullies, and outcrops, requiring advanced navigation skills. Participants use the MapRun 7 smartphone app to record their progress, eliminating the need for physical flags. Three courses are offered: Orange (2.9 km, 110m climb), Green (3.9 km, 170m climb), and Blue (5.4 km, 210m climb), none suitable for novices. The event emphasizes technical orienteering in a rugged, natural setting with a competitive yet supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
