Westcountry Challenge Runs

This page lists long-distance challenges in the Westcountry which have been completed as a nominal run with individuals covering the whole distance on foot (so not as a relay). The times are based on trust (i.e. no attempt has been made to independently ratify them) and are from start to stop, not just moving time.

The amount of support is indicated after the time where known:

S=support points (normally a vehicle meeting the runners from time to time).
P=paced (pacers carrying gear; implies support).
U=unsupported but may include stashes and/or others running with the rounder (but not carrying their gear).
In parentheses indicates partial support.

Clicking on the route name takes you to more info, any split times, etc. Clicking on names links to other websites.

Distances and ascents are very approximate; the latter may vary for linear routes depending upon direction (e.g. add 300' for Dartmoor Crossing south to north, subtract 300' for north to south).

GPS routes, interactive maps and other information for some can be found on the GPS routes website and many long-distance challenges in the UK are included on GoFar.

You can register a successful completion of any of these challenges (or a new route) by mailing me at anything @ this domain.

70m / 15,000?' Dartmoor Round Circuit of the moor More info at GoFar.
Nigel didn't originally run from the Royal Oak in Meavy as has previosly been thought so his original round was a tor-to-tor circuit plus just a little bit of out and back. He did the run as a personal challenge rather than to set a mark for others to follow, but runners being what they are ...! Some other rounds have started from the pub, others from elsewhere but included the out-and-back to take in the pub.
To increase the attraction of the round, I suggest that the round definition going forward should be a circuit of all tors, starting and finishing at the same point but the choice of that point, whether a road crossing or tor is up to you. (I personally think that tor-to-tor is most satisfying.)
Tor list in Nigel's original order: Sheepstor - Sharpitor - Ingra Tor - Pew Tor - Cox Tor - Standon Hill - Ger Tor - Brat Tor - Branscombe's Loaf - High Willhays - Oke Tor - Cosdon Beacon - Rippator - Thornworthy Tor - Hameldown Tor - Hameldown Beacon - Rowden Ball - Wind Tor - Sharp Tor - Puper's Hill - Corringdon Ball - Butterdon Hill - Western Beacon - Hilson's House - Penn Beacon - Great Trowlesworthy Tor - Gutter Tor - Sheepstor.
Note that all tors should be climbed to their highest point - just touching a convenient part doesn't count as them having been visited! (Consider it the same as touching summit cairns on the BGR.)

South West Coast Path

A few ground rules should be followed to qualify for inclusion here:

The route is the official one in force at the time of the run, including the Portland circuit, with formal diversions as necessary.
You can be driven round river crossings without bridges but should stop and restart as close as possible to the ferry embarkation points (but using ferries is obviously the purest approach).
Ideally cover the entire route in sequence although out-of-sequence sections are permitted if necessary (e.g. schedule slippage results in the Lulworth ranges being reach when closed, hence having to do that section before or after the parts either side, or run the last few days in reverse; Portland loop out of sequence for logistical reasons).
A "day" is a 24-hour period so if you start at 08:00 one day and finish 16:00 two weeks later that's 14 days and 8 hours.

Note also that planning is important for this challenge; in particular, don't underestimate how difficult and stressful the support job can be.

East Devon Way

The East Devon Way is a waymarked inland route between Exmouth and Uplyme, although it is obvious to continue on down to Lyme Regis. It has about 5,000 feet of climb in the 40 miles so definitely isn't flat, but nor is it extremely hilly by East Devon standards.

Patrick's run

One of the reasons for Patrick's fast time (other than him being a very fine distance runner, of course!) was that he was fully supported with at least one pacer on each leg, carrying food & drink, opening gates, etc. Other runs tend to be either groups of various size with road support, or unsupported solos/small groups with a few water stashes.

East Devon Round

The East Devon Round follows all of the East Devon Way, the section of the South West Coast Path between Exmouth (Starcross ferry terminal) and Lyme Regis (clocktower), plus a link between the two alongside the River Lim. It's roughly 70 miles long with 12,000' of ascent.

It's quite roady with about 20 miles of hard surface between all the roads, drives and tarmac paths. The off-road going is largely good and the routes are reasonably well waymarked although a map or local knowledge is essential in places. There are some fantastic views (given good weather).

Two legs can be quite miserable - the long, flat boring road through Exmouth (very tedious when you're knackered) and the Lyme Regis Undercliff (a very twisty, hilly, technical trail which can likewise be a real chore when very tired).

West Dorset Round

The West Dorset Round follows all of the South Dorset Ridgeway (inland alternative to the coast path avoiding Weymouth) and part of the South West Coast Path. It's roughly 40 miles long with 4,000' of ascent excluding Portland; the latter adds nearly 15m and 1,000' of climb.

It's mainly off-road with good going and the routes are reasonably well waymarked although a map or local knowledge is essential in places. There are some fantastic views in various places (given good weather!).

The long, flat boring road through Weymouth can be tedious.
