Dark Valley is set within the grounds of Moors Valley Country Park, offering a fantastic chance to run around the trails and woods in the dark!

The Dark Valley half-marathon route is two laps of the trails, pathways and woodland, with maybe a little hill, and is approximately 14 miles. The 10K is a single loop of the same course.

Once you’ve finished a bit of running and messing about in the dark, you’ll be rewarded with a medal and your goodies.

We will also give our unique awards to the first, second and third men and women for each race.

Race registration from 4pm. Numbers will be posted out for anyone who enters up to Sunday 18th October; after this date you will need to come and collect your number on site.

There will be hot food and drink vendors ready to serve you pre- and post-race. 

All competitors must wear a head or chest torch.

Free parking is included with your race entry. You can arrive on-site any time after 3.30pm to take advantage of this offer.

Thinking of making a day out of it?

Moors Valley is a large country park and forest with plenty of activities to choose from to help you get close to nature, stay active and have fun outdoors.

If you’re feeling really energetic, you can be a parkrun tourist on Saturday morning, for a lovely 5K before you take on the half-marathon or 10K Saturday evening – http://www.parkrun.org.uk/moorsvalley/

Go Ape is also on-site with a large high ropes course for adults and juniors – https://goape.co.uk/days-out/moors-valley
