Route information
These woodland night races will take participants through valleys, farmland and Ranmore Common. Each race will start at Denbies Wine Estate, opposite Box Hill Country Park. There will be plenty of hills on the trails so make sure to be prepared to feel the burn. If you fancy there are also Canicross categories for the 10k and 10-mile races making this event perfect for you to bring your four-legged friends along.
What's included
This year, the WNR will form part of the Dartmoor Night Fell Series. To keep entry prices down, we have added medals and series running vests as an optional extra. We will donate a Clive's Pie to Kingsbridge Food Kitchen for every entrant, instead of doing mass medals. By entering this, you are helping to donate. All courses will be marked and marshalled and in the dark!
