Hameldown Hammer

The Hameldown Hammer is a premier trail running event held in Widecombe-In-The-Moor, Dartmoor, featuring three challenging races: the Hammer Half Marathon, the 7EVEN (an 8-mile race), and the inaugural Ultra Hammer. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the event showcases Dartmoor's rugged granite landscapes with well-marked, grassy, rocky, and occasionally muddy trails. Each course includes a double ascent of the Hameldown Ridge, offering over 800m of elevation in the half marathon and spectacular moorland views.

The Ultra Hammer extends across iconic tors with partial navigation required. The event emphasizes sustainability, requiring runners to bring their own cups, and provides bespoke medals and merchandise. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
