Organiser's Description

The Dark Skies returns for an undulating yomp through Surrey’s muddy, rolling hills in Dorking. It’s a thrilling night trail 10 mile, 10K, and 5K race (with canix races), as well as a 1K/2K kid’s race for 3-11 year-olds.

Passing through the Denbies Estate in the Surrey Hills, they are part of the Wild Run Series 2022/23, spanning Devon, Somerset and Surrey.

There will be prizes for the fastest overall podium finishers, as well as spot prizes. Because we're trying to keep entries prices low and we are donating a Clives Pie for every entry to Kingsbridge Food Bank, we have made a finisher's deal an optional extra, as well as our snazzy new series technical running vests.

kit

Functional running wear and appropriate off-road running shoes are presupposed for all races. The course will be muddy, so grippy fell type shoes would be the best option. Road shoes will not be appropriate.

A head torch is required, as well as spare batteries and a long-sleeved top.
