Way of the Dead (a Dartmoor Traverse East to West)

Trenchford Reservoir, United Kingdom • 29 Mar 2025

The Way of the Dead is an exciting trail running event that features a Dartmoor traverse from east to west. Scheduled for March 29, 2025, participants can choose to run solo or in pairs, with live GPS tracking provided for safety. The course includes three checkpoints that double as feed stations, and bags will be 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 unsigned nature. A shorter 14-mile option is also available for those not wishing to complete the full 50k. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
