Dartmoor Winter Traverse

Meldon, United Kingdom • 21 Feb 2026

The Dartmoor Winter Traverse is a fully supported endurance event held on Dartmoor, UK, offering two distances: a challenging 50 km ultra and a 30 km option. Participants run or walk from south to north across some of the most remote and wild parts of the moors, including landmarks like Red Lake, the sources of the rivers Erme and Plym, Roos Tor, Tavy Cleave, and Chat Tor, finishing at Meldon. The route is mostly off-road, unmarked, and requires good navigation skills, with support from qualified Mountain Leaders. The event takes place in February, adding winter weather and limited daylight challenges, emphasizing it as a personal challenge rather than a race.
