Okehampton Running Club (ORC)
# **Moor running for beginners**I know you have always wanted to but never had the opportunity to try, but running on the great open space of Dartmoor offers some truly wonderful experiences. It is right on our doorstep and I guess most of you have not ventured far at all.So why don’t you come along for a series of sessions this spring and I will provide some tips, advice, share some short routes, and give you a goal to aim for during the summer that will be a challenge.These sessions are for any runners who are beginners at moor running. So if you are just out of the Couch to 5k, or a competent runner but never had the opportunity to enter far on the moor then please come along.If the sessions are well attended I will continue these through the spring and summer and we could aim to all participate in our very own Cosden Hill race and possibly the Marilyn’s madness race. All are short races but require some level of confidence of running on the moor.First session is 21st April at Belstone village car park 6:30pm a maximum of 12. Normal Covid rules will apply. If you have trail shoes great but don’t buy any just for this session, a light jacket will be beneficial until we can be sure of the warmer evenings. The route is just over 6km.The route I am going to take you along is on the map shown.The Tors Inn will be open if anyone wants a socially distanced outdoors drink afterwards. ... See MoreSee Less
