About the Event

Connect with the ancient myths of Dartmoor at Pagan Trails Marathon & Half Marathon in Chagford on Saturday, January 24, 2026. This deeply atmospheric winter challenge, organized by OuterEdge Events, invites runners to traverse a landscape steeped in pagan history, passing stone circles and legendary sites in the rugged north-eastern corner of the moor. Choose between the formidable full marathon (over 28 miles with 1,500m of ascent) or the demanding half marathon (over 14 miles), both designed as true tests of endurance against the raw beauty of midwinter Dartmoor. With an early start to maximize daylight and mandatory kit ensuring safety, the event emphasizes self-sufficiency and respect for the environment, enhanced by GPS tracking for marathon participants. Starting and finishing at Chagford Cricket Club, it offers a quintessential Dartmoor adventure where every step feels like a journey through time. Prepare for a profoundly authentic trail experience where wild weather, ancient stones, and personal determination combine to create a race you'll remember long after the finish line.
