Will you beat the 13 Tors on Sunday 12 October 2025?

Take on this 14 mile trail across 13 Tors of Dartmoor, as you navigate this historic land of myths and legends and the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyles classic Hound of the Baskervilles.

Whether you sign up to stride solo or with friends and family, Beat the 13 Tors will be an unforgettable experience. We'll be with you every step of the way, offering tailored training plans in the lead up to the hike and cheering you on with a delicious cream tea and medal in hand as you cross the finish line.

Beat the Trails for Marie Curie and help people get the best care possible, to the end.

The first 200 who sign up to Beat the 13 Tors will receive a limited edition Beat the Trails 2025 iron patch in their postal welcome pack. These are sent out a month before your trek.
