The Wild Night Run

The first three miles is mainly uphill following the river to Shipley Bridge with one or two brief descents to give you some respite. There is then a tarmac section (though still slightly uphill) before you get out onto Dartmoor, turning right at the Avon Dam and crossing east, just before the the Abbott’s Way heading south east towards the bounday fence that leads close to the head of the Harbourne. We have cut off a tiny section of the Abbotts way to satisfy the landowners. Blizzards, nearly waist deep bogs – you’ll find them all in this section of the course. The route then heads back via the infamously muddy Brent Hill and Lydia Bridge.

This is a tough race and not for the faint-hearted.

Still wild but shorter. This follows the stunning river path from South Brent to Shipley Bridge, mainly uphill with a couple of short downs, then loops round to descend a steep rocky track (care needed) before rejoining the last section of the river path. Still challenging but aimed at less experienced runners.

Both courses will be fully marked and marshalled, and in the dark.
