About the event

**To keep entry prices down, we have added medals and series running vests as an optional extra. We will donate a Clive's Pie to Kingsbridge Food Bank for every entrant, instead of doing mass medals. By entering this, you are helping to donate.  All courses will be marked and marshalled and in the dark!**

The South West’s toughest Night Race returns for a 12th year, where it belongs... at night.

10 MILE WILD (original route)

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 dam and following the Abbott’s Way, then back via Dockwell Farm. Blizzards, nearly waist deep bogs – you’ll find them all in this section of the course. The route then heads tup to the notoriously muddy Brent Hill and back via Lydia Bridge.

This is a tough race and not for the faint-hearted.

5 MILE MILD NIGHT RUN

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.
