Wild Night Run

Sat 15th February 2025

A group of runners with headlamps participate in a nighttime trail race through the woods. The bold text overlay reads "Wild Night Run" in yellow, with a silhouette of a person leaping and text "10M | 5M" at the bottom. Two people in outdoor running gear stand smiling in front of a building entrance at night. Both are wearing headlamps and colorful headbands; the woman has a red and white headlamp, and the man has a flame-patterned headband. A person in a purple coat stands in the background. Four runners are standing together, smiling and wearing medals around their necks in a nighttime setting. They are dressed in athletic gear and have headlamps. Their race numbers, starting with 71, 761, 97, and 702, are prominently displayed on their outfits. A group of runners, dressed in athletic gear and headlamps, are gathered in low-light conditions, likely before the start of a night race. Some are chatting and adjusting their equipment. The scene is illuminated by the runners' headlamps and a few distant lights. A group of runners in athletic gear gathers on a road at dusk, preparing for a race.

Organiser's Description

** All courses will be marked and marshalled and in the dark!.**

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.
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.
