PAGAN TRAILS

Embark on an enchanting journey across the rugged terrain of Dartmoor for the Pagan Trails race, set to take place on January 30, 2027. Runners will have two options: the Midwinter Marathon and the Half Marathon.
The Midwinter Marathon offers a challenging route that stretches over 28 miles through the mystical landscapes of Devon's iconic Dartmoor National Park. This longer course takes runners past ancient stone circles and mysterious tors, immersing them in the area’s rich history and folklore. The terrain is varied, with sections featuring steep ascents and descents as well as rolling moors.
For those looking for a slightly shorter yet equally captivating experience, the Half Marathon covers 14 miles of scenic trails. This race still captures the essence of Dartmoor's beauty but provides an opportunity to explore its wonders in half the distance of the full marathon route.
Both races offer runners breathtaking views and a unique winter atmosphere as they navigate through this historic region known for its mystical allure and natural splendor. Participants will have the chance to experience the tranquility and majesty of Dartmoor, making it a memorable adventure for all who take part.
The Pagan Trails race is not just about crossing the finish line; it's an opportunity to connect with nature and immerse yourself in the cultural heritage that surrounds you. Whether you're a seasoned runner or new to trail running, this event promises an unforgettable day out on one of Britain’s most captivating landscapes.
