This event caught my eye, a night trail run! Something I was yet to experience, and only 7km long. I had not come across many 7km events.
On arrival there was lots of signage and friendly marshals directing you where to go. The house was lit up, and runners gathered to collecting their bib numbers. Temporary toilets were provided. You had to wear of have a torch to be able to participate
The route was based over two laps but not identical. I didn’t quite know what to expect, or how dark it would be. The course covered mixed terrain; trail tracks, grass, normal tarmac/concrete pathways, and a woodland section. Any bumps, tree routes, or potential trip hazards were sprayed in white, so you could easily see them.
At the end of the race, a banana, bottle of water, and a goody bag, were waiting for you. The bag contained mainly leaflets, but also a lovely wooden medal.
I would do it again.
