Way of the Dead (a Dartmoor Traverse East to West)
Devon, United Kingdom • 29 Mar 2025
The Way of the Dead is an exciting trail running event that traverses Dartmoor from east to west. Participants can choose to run solo or in pairs, with live GPS tracking provided for safety. The course features three checkpoints that also serve as feed stations, and bags are transported to the finish line in Tavistock. While the total ascent is relatively modest at 1389 meters, the second half of the route requires navigational skills due to its less marked paths. A shorter 14-mile option is available for those not wishing to complete the full 50k distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
