Event summary
Get ready for an unforgettable evening at the Starburster event, hosted by Long Player Running on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, in the picturesque Ringwood, Hampshire. This unique running experience kicks off at sunset, allowing participants to soak in the enchanting twilight sights and sounds of Hurn Forest. Runners can choose between two thrilling distances: a 5-mile route that takes you on a single lap through the scenic forest or a 10-mile challenge that spans two laps, perfect for those seeking a bit more adventure.
As a twilight event, head or chest torches are essential, and we encourage participants to bring additional lights to enhance the magical atmosphere—after all, the more “stars,” the better! With a hardstanding and well-maintained track, trail shoes are recommended but not mandatory. Plus, 20% of your entry fee will support Forestry England, contributing to the maintenance of our beautiful forests and trails. Join us for an evening filled with camaraderie, delicious refreshments, and the thrill of running under the stars. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this special event—register now and make sure to bring your own cup for drinks!
