Moor to Sea

Overview

Moor to Sea Sportive has run since 2012 and is back for 2026. After three consecutive years of shocking weather at the start of October, we’ve moved it to an earlier May date which should ensure better conditions.

There’s a choice of three routes: The Inspire (short) route is 36 miles (57 km) with approximately 2,444 ft (745 m) of ascent. The Challenge (medium) distance route covers  64 miles (103 km) with approximately 5,600 ft (1,700 m) of ascent. Or there’s the Extreme (long) route which covers 110 miles (177 km) with around 10,000 ft (3,000 m) of ascent including gradients up to 20%. Be warned, all three routes finish with quite a tough climb. If the pros were racing it, it would be a ‘puncheur’s’ course for the likes of Julian Allaphillippe or Philippe Gilbert in his pomp.

We award gold, silver & bronze medals based on finishing times. Check the 2025 Medal times here

The Extreme & Challenge routes also include a KoM / QoM Segment Challenge on the iconic Haytor Hill Climb.

Still not tough enough for you? Check out the Dartmoor Legend which takes place on the same day with the same start & finish & is 200 miles!
