Event overview

It is an achievable single loop trail race that is a great option for first time trail runners and, also a great way to prepare for longer events later in the year. There is something quite unique about running at night. The atmosphere, the camaraderie, the challenge, the novelty, and the cooler temperatures all make for a fantastic experience and this race will hopefully provide all of this. The South Downs as always will bring rolling hills, runnable trails, and are also ideal for a race in the dark due to its untechnical terrain.
