The Drogo 10

The Drogo 10

The Drogo 10 is a cross-country race held on the Castle Drogo estate near Drewsteignton, Exeter. The course is a designated BM fell route with a distance of 10 miles (16 km) and approximately 1760 ft (535 m) of climb. The terrain is hilly and muddy and includes the section known as Hunter's Path. The route offers views over the Teign valley.

Signage will be placed at significant route junctions and National Trust Rangers will be stationed at strategic points around the course. Water will be available at Fingle Bridge (approximately 3.3 and 8.4 miles) and at the finish. The event is run under FRA rules and principles, with a licence reference provided by the organisers.

Car parking is available in the National Trust car parks at Castle Drogo at standard charges and is free to National Trust members. Parking on site is limited and may be some distance from the start for later arrivals. Registration and number collection take place on the day outside the castle. Optional long-sleeved technical event T-shirts are available to order in advance and are made from 100% recycled polyester.

Entries may only be transferred using the event entry system's transfer feature; refunds or deferrals are not permitted. Awards are planned for first, second and third male and female overall and for age category winners. Dogs and headphones are not allowed. Runners may be required to pass through foot baths to clean shoes to reduce tree disease transmission. Half of each entry fee is donated to the National Trust for the upkeep of Castle Drogo.
