About the race
Dark Valley Night Trails is a night time trail running event held at Moors Valley Country Park, Horton Road, Ringwood, Dorset. The route uses a 10 km loop that follows wide, winding, tree lined paths through the forest.
The course is fully signed using bespoke fluorescent directional markers. Participants run with headtorches or chest torches; a backup light is recommended. Runners are advised to wear and carry clothing appropriate for changing winter weather and to download the GPX file of the route onto a wearable device because marked arrows can be tampered with.
