Race The Light at Wendover Woods
Race The Light is an evening trail running event held at Wendover Woods in Buckinghamshire that raises funds for the Chilterns Neuro Centre. All proceeds from the event are donated directly to the Centre, which supports people affected by multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and stroke.
The event offers several course options:

- 5K Trail : approximately 125 m elevation gain, a shorter loop on the same trail network.

The routes are fully marked and marshalled, using orange arrow markers and ribbons, and do not require participants to carry a map or GPX. A water and sweets aid station is provided, with a water stop around halfway on the 10K; cups are available and bins are provided. The race is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UKA rules.
