Wild Night Run

Registration opens at 5pm/Races start at 6pm.

PETZL WILD NIGHT RUN RACE 10 MILE & 5 MILE (both courses marked and marshalled)

The South West’s toughest Night Race returns for a 10th year. The good news is, it’s still 10 tough, muddy, rocky, boggy miles on Dartmoor and it's in the dark and it's marked!.

The first three miles is mainly uphill following the river to Shipley Bridge with one or two brief descents to give you some respite. There is then a tarmac section (though still slightly uphill) before you get out onto Dartmoor, turning right at the Avon bridge before the boundary stones

(missing out the Abbott’s Way). Blizzards, nearly waist deep bogs – you’ll find them all in this section of the course. The route then heads to Didworthy and up Diamond Lane towards Corringdon Ball gates and back via Aish Ridge and Lydia Bridge.

It no longer includes the notoriously muddy Brent Hill. This is a tough race and not for the faint-hearted.

5 MILE MILD NIGHT RUN. (Marked course and marshalled)

Still wild but shorter. This follows the stunning river path from South Brent to Shipley Bridge, mainly uphill with a couple of short downs, then loops round to descend a steep rocky track (care needed) before rejoining the last section of the river path. Still challenging but aimed at less experienced runners.
