Event overview
If the full 105-mile circle isn't for you, you can enter the 56-mile race to Totnes instead.
The South Hams Ultra follows existing public rights of way, bridleways and coastal paths, as well as traversing parts of Dartmoor National Park, beautiful South Hams countryside, and five estuaries.
The South Hams Way was established by the South Hams Ramblers and this event is excited to be able to showcase this beautiful circumnavigation route, as part of the official launch in September.
This event is part of The South Hams Ultra.

Description
You will circumnavigate South Hams in a clockwise direction, using the South Hams Way for the most part, but you will start at the Mount Folly Farm campsite in Bigbury, before skirting the Erme estuary and crossing the Erme in to the Flete Estate.
From here, the route picks up the Erme-Plym trail to Yealmpton and Ermington beyond, heading to Ivybridge and picking up the Two Moors Way (and Puffing Billy Track) to South Brent and following the Avon Dam, before crossing the Abbots Way to Buckfastleigh.
From Buckfastleigh, it's south to Totnes, crossing the railway line at Staverton. Fifty milers finish here at the Town Mill, Coronation Rd, Totnes TQ9 5DF.
Otherwise it's on to Dittisham and Dartmouth via the Dart Valley Trail. From here, you'll join the SW Coast Path, all the way past Torcross and Start Point, until reaching the ferry in Salcombe, where you will embark at The Passageway in East Portlemouth.
Each runner's clock will stop here and the ferry crossing deducted form your finishing time, runners will continue past Hope Cove and Bantham, completing the loop by finishing in Aveton Gifford at the Village Hall.
