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.

Organiser's description
The South West’s toughest Night Race returns and we're planning to return to the original route. It’s still 10 tough, muddy, rocky, boggy miles on Dartmoor.
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 to the Avon Dam, before crossing the Abbots way and heading back south across some lovely boggy moorland section across the head of the Harbour and exiting Dartmoor at Dockwell Farm.
All being well, we'll bring back Brent Hill as well.
5 MILE MILD NIGHT RUN. (Marked course and marshalled)
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 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.
Race entry includes: electronic chip timing, fully marked out course using poles and canes, arrows, feed station.
Free number transfer if you are unable to run (if more than a week before the event).
