Dark Dart Dash

The Dark Dart Dash, making its triumphant return since December 2014, invites runners of all ages to lace up their shoes and experience an unforgettable run through the picturesque landscapes around Dartington Hall. This year’s edition features a partnership with Green Table Cafe, which will not only handle race day registration but also offer a warm welcome post-race with delicious pizzas, hot drinks, and bar service.
Choose from two main courses: a 10K route or a shorter yet equally scenic 5K option, both designed as single laps that wind through the charming countryside. In addition to these adult races, children aged 3 to 11 can participate in specially tailored fun runs, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
A new and exciting twist this year is the introduction of canicross starts, allowing dog owners to run alongside their four-legged friends shortly after the individual race waves begin. This family-friendly event not only promises a day filled with activity but also supports a worthy cause – helping fund the construction of a brand-new children’s playground at Dartington Hall.
With its blend of challenging terrain and community spirit, the Dark Dart Dash offers an engaging experience for runners looking to explore the outdoors while contributing positively to their local environment.
Join us as we celebrate this beloved event and look forward to another successful year ahead.
