Ten Tors event cancelled in 2021 due to Covid

March 10, 2021 - It was announced that the traditional Ten Tors event would be cancelled as coronavirus restrictions were expected to still be in place when it was due to take place.

The challenge was due to take place on Dartmoor in May 2021, but organisers announced its cancellation.

The British Army, which organises the challenge for thousands of young people from across the South West, said arrangements are being made for a virtual event to keep the 'Ten Tors flame alive' and plans are already underway for 2022.

In a statement Ten Tors secretary, Colonel Neville Holmes, said: "It is with regret that I have to announce it is no longer possible to hold a physical Ten Tors event on Dartmoor this May.

"As you know, we have been working closely with the local authorities and Ten Tors Policy Committee to plan a safe and enjoyable event but the restrictions that will still be in place over that period mean this is no longer possible.
