Big Night Out
Big Night Out
Winchester, Hampshire
Winchester Rugby Club, Nuns Road, Winchester, SO23 7EF, United KingdomSat 12th November 2022
Starting at 19:00
Organiser's Description
Venture up high above the city to Cheesefoot Head and St Catherine's Hill. 2 distances, 14Km and 15 miles with fluorescent markers showing you the way! Not sure? We have experienced run leaders at a variety of paces to suit all so you can gain confidence in a small group.
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!
Course is fully marked and marshalled with well-stocked aid stations. A bespoke medal also awaits you at the end of your Big Night Out!
Course Details
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.
