Event overview

Dash in the Dark returns in 2026 to a brand-new location: Robin Hill! Every year, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance respond to hundreds of emergency missions in the dark, and now we’re inviting you to join us for a special night time mission to help raise the vital funds to keep us flying and saving lives. Dash in the Dark is a glow in the dark, 5km fun run. So, gather your glow gang and get ready to walk, jog, run or dance your way around Robin Hill. Each participant will receive a free Dash in the Dark T-shirt to wear, a runner number and will collect a glow in the dark medal at the finish line!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
