Overview

The Bright Skies is a thrilling daytime trail half marathon,10K, and 5K race (with cani-cross races), as well as a 1K/2K kid’s race for 3-11 year-olds. Bright Skies was born off the back of the Dark Skies event (part of the Wild Night Run Series), after several people said they loved the route but would like to see some of it!

It follows an undulating yomp through Surrey’s muddy, rolling hills in Dorking. Passing through the Denbies Estate in the Surrey Hills, this is the fifth event at Denbies which is a fantastic venue!

This event is part of Bright Skies Surrey Hills.
