Dark Valley, Night Trails 2025 | Sat 22 Nov | Book @ Findarace

Dark VALLEYNight Trails Join us for the ultimate Dark Valley Night Trails!  This exciting night-time adventure is back! BigFeat Events bring you a 10km looped trail along wide, winding tree lined paths, set in the deep dark woods of Moors Valley Country Park. Running under the stars in this hugely popular forest on the Hampshire/Dorset border, we offer you a fantastic opportunity to experience a torch lit, night-time trail running adventure. DESCRIPTION On a fully signed course, using our bespoke fluorescent directional markers, runners leave HQ under cover of darkness. With headtorches lighting the way, you'll head out into the forest and beyond, experiencing a freedom and sense of calm that only the darkness can bring! Your senses become more alert and where the forest opens up, panoramic views of the night sky will really add to the sense of adventure. Whether solo or with friends, you will feel safe surrounded by like-minded runners and legendary BigFeat marshals. The only choice to make is how many laps to do..... (and how much glow to show!) We offer  1, 2 or 3 lap options giving you the chance to run 10km, 20km or 30km.......which dark adventure will you choose?
