Ten Tors Challenge

Thomas Hall and the Ten Tors Challenge

At Thomas Hall, we are proud to take part in the legendary Ten Tors Challenge, one of the most demanding and rewarding outdoor events in the South West. Each year, we enter as many teams as possible, covering both the 35-mile and 45-mile routes across Dartmoor.

Our students train rigorously throughout the year, developing not only physical endurance but also essential life skills. Participation in Ten Tors reflects our school ethos of:

• Connecting with our environment – understanding and respecting the natural world.
• Learning about nature to stay safe – building awareness and resilience in challenging conditions.
• Developing leadership and teamwork – working together to achieve shared goals.
• Mastering navigation and determination – using map-reading and problem-solving skills to succeed.

This experience is more than a challenge; it’s a journey that fosters confidence, perseverance, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
