About the Event

Answer the raw call of Dartmoor for a monumental 10th-anniversary celebration at the Hameldown Hammer, returning to Widecombe-in-the-Moor on Saturday, 28th February 2026. This iconic trail challenge presents three epic ways to conquer the legendary Hameldown Ridge: tackle the gruelling, inaugural 30-mile Sledgehammer Ultra, conquer the classic Half Marathon with its formidable 800m of ascent, or take on the deceptively tough 7EVEN 'long 10k'. Each route is a serious test of endurance across rugged, windswept tors and ancient trails, demanding respect and rewarding with some of the South West's most spectacular, wild vistas. With fully marked courses, bespoke finisher medals, and a fiercely supportive atmosphere, this is a rite of passage for any trail runner. Prepare your mandatory kit, fortify your spirit, and secure your entry to see if you can nail the Hammer—or if the moor will hammer you.
