Templer Way Challenge

Children enjoying dressing up as water rescuers at the Dartmoor Rescue open day

The Templer Way Challenge.

The event is a fundraising event open to the general public.  If you have a well behaved dog on a lead, bring it along.

 

18 miles along the stunning Templer Way Trail

The route starts at Haytor Visitor Centre and works its way down the Templer Way Trail to the sea at Shaldon.

It is a fundraising event and we ask people to raise sponsorship from themselves or others to a minimum of £25 to take part.

Team members marshall the event and provide all the safety cover.
Registrations for this popular event will open in February 2024.

 


The event is a fundraising event for team funds as we rely on public donation for over 92% of our funding. Our service is free to those in need across Dartmoor and Devon, and available  24/7

 

All profits from the event will be used to fund the work of our search and rescue charity. Reg charity number 1202623.
