DARTMOOR FULL CIRCLE 100

Dartmoor's Full Circle 100 is set to make its fourth appearance as the only landlocked 100-mile race in South West England, offering runners an unparalleled journey through one of Britain’s most captivating landscapes. This continuous non-stop event challenges participants with a rigorous route that winds around both northern and southern sections of Dartmoor, traversing ancient tracks, wild trails, and picturesque villages.
The Full Circle 100 follows the well-marked Dartmoor Way walking trail, weaving through dense woodlands, along riverside paths, green lanes, and quiet country roads. The terrain is varied and challenging, featuring over 4,000 meters of ascent across rocky, tussocky, and boggy ground typical to this moorland region. Autumn’s unpredictable weather adds an extra layer of difficulty with potential for cold temperatures, rain, or even snow, as well as a demanding night section.
Competitors must visit six indoor checkpoints scattered throughout the route where they will be greeted by enthusiastic volunteers from local running clubs and OuterEdge's dedicated crew, who provide sustenance, encouragement, and support. These aid stations are strategically located in village halls and churches to ensure runners can refuel and rest before continuing their journey.
The race begins at midday on Friday, October 2nd, starting from the OCRA Pavilion in Okehampton Park, Mill Road, EX20 1GE (Event HQ). Participants must complete this grueling course within a maximum time limit of 34 hours. While some may finish around the 24-hour mark, most runners can expect to take between 26 and 32 hours.
To ensure safety and optimal performance, competitors are required to carry specific race kit as detailed on the OuterEdge Events website. They will also be equipped with GPS tracking devices that allow friends and family to follow their progress online throughout the event. Medical support from doctors and paramedics is available throughout the weekend for any unforeseen issues.
Upon crossing the finish line in Okehampton, runners are greeted not only by a sense of accomplishment but also with a bespoke finisher's medal as well as trophies for first, second, and third place male and female competitors. Age category prizes further enhance the competitive spirit among participants.
The Full Circle 100 is strictly reserved for experienced ultra-distance runners who have completed at least one race between 50 miles and within time limits from October 2024 to August 31st, 2026. This ensures a high caliber of competitors ready to tackle the demanding route.
In addition to an immersive racing experience, participants will enjoy amenities such as hot food and drinks at every indoor checkpoint, parking costs included for the weekend, changing and showering facilities available throughout, bar facilities with hot food all week long, and professional medical support. For those seeking additional security against unforeseen circumstances that might prevent them from participating, XCover is also an option.
