COME JOIN US !!

in 2025 for this BRAND NEW EVENT

Heroes & Villains is a Saturday afternoon/evening trail run that provides the perfect backdrop to an evening of surprises!!  Be your favourite hero or your most feared villain.  This is a brand new race in our 2025 calendar and is one of our Saturday evening races that introduce people to night running.  Competitors enjoy a safe and supported 5km loop race under headtorch.  The shorter distances are completed before sunset, with the 21k, 42k and 50k pushing into the night.

Safe and supported – yes. But be prepared for some of those strange happenings that only occur when Heroes and Villains are in the forest!
