Dartmoor Trail and Fell Running, outlines some of the best trail and fell running routes the national park has to offer. Whether it be climbing over the rugged, northern 600m tors, or tearing along an 18th century leat from a Napoleonic prison, this off-road running guide has options to suit all tastes and abilities.
Its aim is to highlight the best of what Dartmoor has to offer for the runner. Whether you are an experienced, weather-beaten trail warrior looking to explore a set of different trails, or a lean, mean road running machine keen to mix it up and add a bit of trail work to your training.
The routes included in this guide are not by any means the limit. Indeed, there is an abundance of other routes available, but understanding where to run is often a barrier. This book is just your starting point.

Came for the routes, but got hooked on the advice. Colin removes the fear of the unknown from fell running and explains the world of waterproofs, shoes, navigation, what to eat and much more with humour and experience, cutting through the marketing of the latest and greatest kit. How you run is a personal choice, one which Colin encourages from page 1. As for the routes, I am biased living close to Dartmoor. From a first time fell runner learning to navigate through the landscape, to a seasoned veteran of the Tors, there are routes for everyone. The notes prior to each route add context and history, making each one more than a physical and navigational experience. Colin really has distilled the best running Dartmoor has to offer into a single volume.

What a great book. A really refreshing read. I love the writing style as it doesn’t beat about the bush! The variety of walks in different parts of the moor are well described and the grading scale is really helpful as you can judge whether or not the route is within your capabilities. There really is something for every ability of off road runner. The content is informative, entertaining, useful and motivating. Thanks Colin for writing this book and hope to see many more (moor!).

This is an inspirational book. Colin describes a variety of routes from all over the moor. These showcase what Dartmoor can offer and provide a starting point for exploring unfamiliar areas. I’d strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in running on Dartmoor!
