Haldon Night 2022

Haldon Night Trail Race 2022

Our popular night trail race returns to Haldon Forest for 2022. There’s a single loop 10K course and a shorter 5K course. New for 2022 is a fancy dress category, and there’ll be prizes for the best fancy dress. And there’s a team competition too!

For the children, we offer a fun one-lap 1K race (3-7 yrs) or a two-lap 2K race for slightly older children aged 8-11. Routes are clearly marked with reflective poles & arrows.
For all kids races we are happy for adults to run with them for no additional charge. Head torches or chest torches will be needed.
There is plenty of parking (chargeable) & there will be catering on site.

FAQS

We recommend trail shoes for all our night runs. You should also wear a hi-viz top or vest so you can be seen on any road sections or crossings. Bring warm clothing to change into afterwards. And of course, you’ll need a suitable head or chest torch.

For our night runs, you need a suitable headtorch. Chest-mounted torches are also acceptable.
