Hameldown Hammer
Hameldown Hammer is a pair of trail races on Dartmoor that start and finish in the village of Widecombe in the Moor at the foot of the Hameldown massif. The courses run over grassy, rocky and sometimes muddy tracks, with occasional sections through forestry glades.
Both routes include a double ascent of the Hameldown ridge. The half marathon features over 800 m of ascent. The 7EVEN route has in excess of 450 m of ascent and has been increased to 8 miles since 2024.
Both courses are fully marked and marshalled. First aid is provided on course and at the event headquarters. Bespoke event medals are awarded to all finishers. Event t shirts and OuterEdge merchandise are sold through the online entry process and can be collected on race day.
The event operates a cupless policy to reduce plastic use. Bringing a personal cup is part of the mandatory kit list for participants and kit details are published by the organiser. Dogs are not permitted with runners during the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
