The Drogo 10

The Drogo 10

The Drogo 10 is a 10 mile (16 km) multi terrain Fell Race classified FRA BM and run under FRA regulations, Licence No. 2026-10150. The course starts and finishes on the main drive to Castle Drogo and offers views across the Teign Valley, with total climb of about 1760 ft (535 m).

The route leaves the castle drive to cross grass and woods, then descends steeply to Sharp Tor and a main downhill track to the river. A newer bridge and a short climb create a potential bottle neck. The middle section follows woods, tracks and paths before a twisting hill of about half a mile. After a steep descent and river-side running, there is a long climb up the far side of the gorge and further undulating terrain to Fingle Bridge, where a cupless water station is provided. The course then climbs the Hunters Path for roughly half a mile before a final undulating half mile to the finish.

The event is cupless; water is available at Fingle Bridge and at the finish. Parking is in the National Trust car parks subject to their charges and limited space; car sharing is requested. Entries are limited to 550. No dogs, headphones or navigational aids are permitted. Runners may need to pass through foot baths to clean shoes. Awards are presented for overall and age category placings. Runners are advised to bring grippy multi terrain trainers, a lightweight running jacket and dry clothes for afterwards. There are no changing or showering facilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
