Tunnel Vision - Market Harborough

Market Harborough, United Kingdom • 6-7 Nov 2025

Tunnel Vision night and dawn runs (Market Harborough, 6-7 November 2025)

Tunnel Vision is an out-and-back running event of 5 mile distance held on Thursday 6 and Friday 7 November 2025. Both routes include a passage through Oxendon Tunnel, which is 422 m long. The organisers will provide mood lighting inside the tunnel, but participants must carry a headtorch or small handheld torch. The tunnel surface has ruts and puddles; the rest of the route is hard packed track suitable for road or trail shoes. The dawn edition offers a sunrise view along the route.
