Big Night Out

Big Night Out is our first after dark trail running event. On a fully signed course, using our bespoke fluorescent directional markers, runners leave Winchester Rugby Club under cover of darkness. With headtorches lighting the way, you’ll head along the River Itchen as you make your way out of the City of Winchester and head onto the South Downs Way. Following the SDW, the 15 mile runners will climb steadily to Cheesefoot Head, where panoramic views of the night sky will really add to the sense of adventure. Running over Fawley down towards Morestead, runners will complete a circular loop before coming back down Cheesfoot Head and heading out onto the MOD land at Deacons Hill. Here you’ll meet the 14km runners as you both join the Pilgrims Trail and make your way back towards Winchester and St Catherines Hill. Now it’s a run along the Itchen Way as you follow the river back into the the City and the finish line.

Our events are very friendly and inclusive. When you book one of our races, you will always get a warm, friendly welcome and many of our runners return to try our other unique events!

Runner Safety

All runners will be required to have a headtorch, back up torch or spare batteries and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions. If you have night specific, highly reflective running gear then we would ask you to wear it. Remember though, this is a BIG NIGHT OUT, so we want to see glow in the dark neon, lots of colour and smiley happy adventurous faces.
