Will you beat the 13 Tors on Sunday 11 October 2026?

Take on this 14 mile trail across 13 Tors of Dartmoor, as you navigate this historic land of myths and legends and the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyles classic Hound of the Baskervilles.

Whether you sign up to stride solo or with friends and family, Beat the 13 Tors will be an unforgettable experience. We'll be with you every step of the way, offering tailored training plans in the lead up to the hike and cheering you on.

Please note, due to the location of this trail, we aren't able to have quite the same look and feel to this event as the other trails in our series. However, we promise it will be every bit as rewarding as you navigate the trail to reach all 13 Tors in time for delicious cream tea at the finish! Check out our 13 Tors Trail gallery below.

Beat the Trails for Marie Curie and help people get the best care possible, to the end.
