Haytor Heller

Haytor Heller

Haytor Heller is a long-established moorland race that marks its 40th anniversary. The course starts below Haytor Rock, follows a single lap across rugged, open moorland and returns to Haytor Rock, finishing opposite the middle car park. The route is approximately 6 miles, entirely off-road, and includes several steep ascents and descents, two short sections through woodland (below Hound Tor and below Haytor) and a stream crossing.

Race headquarters is at the Coach Park at the far end of the lower car park. There are toilets available but no showers or changing facilities. A water station is provided at Hound Tor (just under 4 miles) and at the finish. Dogs and following cyclists are not allowed on the course. Competitors must adhere to the Country Code.

Entry is limited to 350 runners and there is a one hour cut off time at Hound Tor. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and free race photos are provided. A BBQ and cakes will be available at Race HQ. Prize categories include top finishers by gender, multiple veteran age groups, under 18 categories and first male and female teams (four to count).

The event is organised by Teignbridge Trotters and is authorised under an Association of Running Clubs race permit No. 26/0451. For its anniversary the event supports Moor Trees; donations made at entry are matched pound for pound by the organiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
