Run Route
The run course is a 10km trail run around Haigh Woodland Park. We recommend that you wear trail runner shoes for additional grip. You will need a head or hand torch to illuminate the route as you run. There will be course marshals that will direct you around the course and there will also be signs which will have reflective tape stuck onto them. When your torch hits the signs, the reflective tape will shine back at you similar to “cats’ eyes”.
If and when you pass any runner, please ensure that you provide enough space to make the pass and maintain social distancing.
