The Tavy Half Marathon is held during the 3rd week of March. First run in 2010 to the north east of Tavistock, a new course was launched in 2015, running to the south west of Dartmoor and taking in some spectacular scenery. The first half of the course is hilly but the last 5 miles are pretty flat and downhill, coming back into the town through the beautiful Meadows park and finishing on Tavistock Athletic Club running track. There is also a fun run for juniors whilst the half marathon is taking place and the local primary schools finish their final mile in the ‘Primary Schools Challenge’.
