Way of the Dead 50k (Dartmoor Crossing)
Runners can either run in pairs or solo and our team will follow runners progress through live GPS tracking and there will be three checkpoints, which will double as feed stations. Bags will be taken to the finish at Tavistock, but we will also arrange a bag drop to the final feed station/checkpoint at Merrivale. The ascent is fairly minimal at 1389 meters but don’t be fooled. The second half will require some navigational experience, as it is relatively unsigned but we will provide race GPXs and our team will be monitoring you throughout.
Transport will leave Tavistock for the start at 5.30am from the Statuary Brewing House in Tavistock.
14 mile race (The undead)
For those who don’t wish to run the whole 50k, there is a 14 mile option to Postbridge. A transport option will be included to Postbridge (pre race for an additional £15). This will take runners to the start at Trenchford Reservoir, from Postbridge, leaving at 6am.
There will be one feed station on this route. Bags will be taken to the finish.
**Our thanks to the Stannary Brewing Company for sponsoring this even. Great place to finish a race and enjoy a cold beer!**
