Haytor Heller

The Haytor Heller is a popular and well-established off-road moorland race held near Haytor Rock in Devon, organized by Teignbridge Trotters. Now in its 39th year, the challenging course covers approximately 6 miles (just under 10k), featuring a single hilly lap with steep ascents and descents across rugged open moorland and two woodland sections near Hound Tor and Haytor. The route includes a stream crossing and finishes with a fast downhill sprint opposite Haytor's middle car park.

The race has a strict one-hour cut-off at Hound Tor and prohibits dogs, cyclists, and headphones for safety. Amenities include water stations, race medals, free photos, and a post-race BBQ and cakes at Race HQ. The event is part of the Dartmoor Fell Series and attracts up to 350 runners.
