Haytor Heller

Haytor Heller is an off-road moorland race held on Dartmoor with a single lap course of approximately 6 miles that starts and finishes at Haytor Rock.

The finish is on a fast downhill section opposite the middle car park at Haytor.

Race headquarters are at the Coach Park at the far end of the lower car park. Facilities at Race HQ include toilets but no showers or changing. Food and refreshments are available, with cakes and a BBQ on site. There is a water station at Hound Tor just short of four miles and additional water at the finish. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and free race photos are provided.
