About the Event

Escape the ordinary and answer the call of the wild moor. The Big Day Out Trailfest, hosted by OuterEdge Events, is your ultimate summer adventure on Saturday, 1st August 2026, offering two iconic ways to conquer Dartmoor’s breathtaking landscape. Choose your challenge: conquer the full 33.5-mile point-to-point ultramarathon of The Crossing from Belstone, or tackle the thrilling 15.5-mile Great Escape from Princetown—both finishing at the vibrant hub of Ivybridge Rugby Club. This festival of trail running serves up vast, open wilderness, ancient paths like the Abbots Way, and a profound sense of camaraderie, all backed by fully-stocked aid stations and a buzzing finish-line atmosphere with camping, food, and drinks. Whether you're taking your first bold step into ultra-running or seeking a spectacular long-distance trail race, the Big Day Out Trailfest is your definitive Dartmoor running experience. Lace up, embrace the adventure, and make the moor your playground.
