No to a cycle jersey, YES to a tree ?

We are pleased to announce that you can support tree planting on Dartmoor by choosing not to accept your Dartmoor Classic Cycle Jersey (FREE with entry) and instead we will send a donation to moortrees.org for them to plant a tree on your behalf. Your selection can be made at online entry and you will receive a coloured number to indicate your tree planting support.

Take a quick look at our Dartmoor Classic video to see how it's run by members of Mid Devon Cycling Club and local volunteers.

‍The Dartmoor Classic not only donates to charities, we also donate to local sports clubs, schools, villages on route, Dartmoor Search and Rescue, the Air Ambulance plus many more each year. As a rider you can rest assured knowing that part of your entry fee supports Dartmoor National Park and the surrounding area.
