About the Event

Answer the wild call of winter on a true high-moor adventure at the Dartmoor Winter Traverse, a formidable 50km or 30km journey across one of England's most iconic landscapes on Saturday, 21st February 2026. This is not a race but a pure, self-navigated challenge, taking you from south to north across the remote heart of Dartmoor, past the sources of ancient rivers, through the desolate beauty of Red Lake, and beneath the dramatic crags of Tavy Cleave. With minimal daylight, unpredictable weather, and pathless terrain underfoot, this event demands respect, preparation, and resilience, offering an unparalleled sense of achievement for seasoned ultra-runners and strong walkers alike. Fully supported by qualified Mountain Leaders and the expert team at Climb South West, you'll be safe to immerse yourself in the raw, elemental splendour of the moors. Choose your distance, prepare your kit, and secure your place for an unforgettable winter pilgrimage where every step is a testament to personal endurance.
