Festive Friston Forest Night Trail Run
Litlington, United Kingdom • 22 Dec 2025
Event overview
The Festive Friston Forest is a five-mile night trail run on 22 December 2025 at The Plough & Harrow, The Street, Litlington, East Sussex BN26 5RE. The route is a self-navigated, predominately anti-clockwise loop through countryside, including forest and downlands, and is the reverse route of the Plough & Harroween 5. The course features many hills and is intended as a night-time adventure rather than a pure race; the event is timed and a tail runner will sweep the course.
