The Petzl Wild Night Run
About this event
The Petzl Wild Night Run is a great event for experienced and new trail runners alike. Take on the challenging 10 mile trail run, one not for faint-hearted, or dip your toes into trail running with the 5 mile. Come for the medal, a chance to win some prizes, and a satisfying day of racing.

We recognise that many of our runners may be new to self navigation events and want to become more confident runners who can dispense with a guide.So we are also offering NNAS navigation courses (for runners or walkers). The spirit of community and camaraderie of the group night runs, has cemented many friendships, since they began. Wild Running Camps aims to replicate the camaraderie of the Thursday night runs. Both the Beginner’s Fell Camps for women in the Lake District and our Wild Running Camp on Dartmoor, involve sharing communal meals in a cosy farmhouse, while our bespoke Scotland Camps can involve sharing a hostel, cottage or a hotel and listening to talks about the local geology and even whisky tasting, upon request. The chance to run on a guided route over a munro is central but by no means the only part of the experience. Last year, our guides learnt a lot about hygge when a large Danish group signed up for our Scotland camp. They were excellent company. Without the group, we are just loan wolfs bound for extinction. The end goal is not to chip away at your 10k time but to enjoy the process of running and hopefully to avoid injuries, in as much as this is possible.

Route description
10 Mile
This route is 10 miles of tough muddy, rocky, and boggy running on Dartmoor.
The first half of the race is mainly uphill, following the river to Shipley Bridge, with only a few brief descents. Then runners will race through a slightly uphill tarmac section, before getting onto Dartmoor.
Dartmoor really throws everything at you, with blizzards and nearly waist-deep bogs awaiting you. The second half of the race is mainly downhill with a few short, sharp climbs to keep you focused, including the infamous Brent Hill.
This is a challenging course, and is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
5 Mile
This route follows the stunning river path from South Brent to Shipley Bridge. After mainly uphill, with a few short downs in the first part of the race, runners will loop back around to descent a rocky, steep track before joining back onto the river path for the last section.
Although a challenging race, this route is aimed at those who are less experienced at trail running.

09:00 Event starts
19:00 Event ends
