About the Event

Phoenix Running Devon invites runners to immerse themselves in the captivating landscape of Dartmoor for 'Dartmoor Myths & Legends' - The Hairy Hands. This unique race, part of their ‘Run Your Wray’ series, offers an enchanting journey through the serene Parke Estate along the River Bovey.
Participants can choose from a range of distances including 5km to ultra marathon options, all set on a picturesque 3.28-mile out-and-back course that winds through the scenic Wray Valley Trail. The route is designed for flexibility; runners may complete as many laps as they wish within a generous time limit of up to seven hours.

This course caters to all levels of ability; whether you're aiming for one lap or pushing your limits over multiple laps, every finisher will receive a specially designed event medal.
The race day experience is further enhanced by the 'rock up and run' start time flexibility, allowing participants to begin their journey whenever they arrive. This ensures no waiting around if you’re early and reduces pressure if you need more time to prepare before starting your adventure.
With only 50 spots available for this intimate event, securing a place ahead of race day is essential to ensure participation in the captivating Dartmoor setting. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to explore the mystical trails while enjoying the stunning natural beauty that surrounds Parke Estate.
