The Bright Skies is a thrilling day time  trail half marathon, 10 mile, 10K, and 5K race (with canix races), as well as a 1K/2K kid’s race for 3-11 year-olds.The half marathon is a new addition, which is one lap of the 5k course, followed by a lap of the 10 mile course. This will start alongside the 10k and 5k runners.

It’s a new event for 2023, but follows the same format as the established Dark Skies winter race- an undulating yomp through Surrey’s muddy, rolling hills in Dorking. Passing through the Denbies Estate in the Surrey Hills, this is our third event at Denbies and we love it here. Look out for some exciting new event partners.

This year, entrants will make a contribution towards a mental health charity.
