The Dart Challenge is a new six hour trail event on 21 November 2025 at the Green Table Cafe, Dartington Hall, Totnes. Participants may run, hike or walk as many 5 km laps as they can within the six hour time limit. The format allows single-lap finishers or multi-lap attempts, including the possibility of covering a marathon distance by completing 8 laps plus a short out-and-back. The event also includes a canicross option for running with a dog.
