Runners of all ages and abilities are gearing up for challenge across Exmoor National Park as the Dulverton Trail Fun Run & Canicross returns for its fourth year. The event on Sunday, September 15 promises a unique blend of physical challenge and scenic beauty, making it a must-attend for both seasoned athletes and casual runners alike. The event, held on the Exmoor Lawns alongside the River Barle, offers participants a choice between 5km and 10km routes traverse the stunning autumnal countryside surrounding the quaint moorland town of Dulverton.
Both routes take runners through some of Exmoor's most beautiful landscapes, including a steep woodland track leading to the breathtaking heights of Court Down. From this vantage point, participants will be rewarded with panoramic views stretching from Dartmoor to Dunkery Beacon, Somerset's highest point. In addition to the trail run, Dulverton offers a special treat for dog lovers with the Canicross event.
Known for its dog-friendly environment, Dulverton invites runners to bring their canine companions to join them on the 5km or 10km routes. The Canicross event adds an extra layer of fun as dogs assist their owners in navigating the paths and hills. Numbers are limited, so runners are advised to book their places well in advance to avoid disappointment.
