Organiser's Description
The South West’s toughest Night Race returns for a 13th year.
9 MILE WILD
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 crossing below the Abbott’s Way and heading south east, emerging near the boundary fence which takes you south, close to the head of the Harbourne and exiting the moor near Dockwell farm. Blizzards, nearly waist deep bogs – you’ll find them all in this section of the course. The route then heads back via the infamously muddy Brent Hill and Lydia Bridge.
**We have made a tiny adjustment to the route to avoid an overused section of the Abbotts Way, to satisfy the landowners**
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.
Prizes
There will be prizes for the fastest three overall men’s and women’s podium finishers plus spot prizes.

Kit List
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.
