About This Race
A 50K Dartmoor traverse from east to west following the ancient Lych Way — the Way of the Dead — starting at Trenchford Reservoir and finishing at a brewery in Tavistock. Runners compete solo or in pairs with live GPS tracking and three checkpoints doubling as feed stations. The route passes Bowerman's Nose, Hameldown Ridge, a WWII plane wreck memorial, Grimspound and Postbridge. The second half requires navigational experience as the route is largely unsigned. GPX files provided.

Trenchford Reservoir Car Park, Newton Abbot TQ13 9NS
