The Dartmoor Marathon
The Dartmoor Marathon is a road marathon scheduled for Sunday 12 April 2026 that starts and finishes in Bedford Square, Tavistock. The route runs through Dartmoor National Park and includes sections on smooth roads, hilly sections, and views of rugged terrain.
The course passes notable local points including Princetown and the historic Dartmoor Prison, and it loops around Burrator Reservoir. The route description notes the possibility of encountering Dartmoor ponies along quieter sections of the course.
Entry options and offers vary in price. Standard entry is listed at £47. An elite entry application route is available; complimentary entries are offered for athletes who meet qualifying times of Men 2:20:00 and Women 2:48:00 achieved after 1 January 2024, but meeting the standard does not guarantee entry and places are awarded at the organisers’ discretion. A Drake Community Mile entry is listed at £5 and volunteering places are offered with no fee. Listed offer prices range from £0.00 to £47.00. The event is held under Race License #29844.
