The Dartmoor Yomp has been running since 2008 in various formats, using Bickleigh Barracks the home of 42 Commando RM, in all but one year since, for camping, eating, socialising and a base for the event. Supporting RMA-The Royal Marines Charity, the Yomp has raised in excess of £60,000.00 since its conception.

The yomp will cover 6 miles/12.5 miles over tracks, through woodland, along river banks, open moorland and rocky tors; with fantastic panoramic views from moor to sea; starting and finishing at Bickleigh.

Taking part and yomping together are serving and retired Royal Marines, their families, dogs and friends, plus local Royal Marines cadets who Yomp and help with the running of the weekend.
