Notorious Night Series - Horseplay
The Notorious Night Run Series is a collection of off-road running events that takes you into the night, beyond your comfort zone, and into Notoriety!
With events in Scotland, the Midlands, the South (and for 2012, the North), at each venue you can choose from a cheeky 5km(ish) daytime dash, or a serious 10km(and a bit) adventure in the descending darkness.
We seek the most challenging terrain at each location, and create obstacles to test you physically and mentally. And if that wasn’t enough... to keep you grinning throughout, fancy dress is top of our participants’ what-to-wear list.
After the racing is over, a chance to refuel, rehydrate, and relax in our Notorious After-Parties. With local food, beers and bands on site, you can party deep into the night, and stay at our very own camping zone.
As well as the great venues and unique challenges on offer, your entry fee includes
* A ‘Notorious’ tech tee
* Finishers medal (or rosette at our Horseplay event)
* Individual chip timing
* Free parking
These events are designed for runners who take their fun seriously, for whom a “race face†is a mud-spattered grin. For nearly all, it’s less about fastest time, and more about having the best time, from splashing through horse-jumps in a tweed jacket and headtorch, to cutting loose in our party tent.
“We came, we saw, we canteredâ€
With the 2011 event a fond memory, we look forward to 2012, and horsing around in the beautiful Hambleden Estate for a third year running.
In the year of the Olympics, the Thames Valley seems the perfect place to host the finale of the Notorious Night Run series. Whether you sign up to run the daylight 5k(ish) or the torchlit 10k(and a bit), you’ll enjoy a right royal romp through a beautiful private estate: followed by our Notorious after-party, with legendary live music and local hospitality, and a comfortable conclusion as you drift soundly away in our onsite camping area.
Fancy dress is part of the fun, with riding regalia top of the what-to-wear list. When the gun goes off, a stampede of flat caps and horsey headscarves will gallop across the show field and over the first of many genuine horsejumps, for the benefit of their supporters.
Then it’s through the woods, over rolling hills and green paddocks to overcome natural and manmade obstacles such as Derby Bank, Sleepy Hollow (where the Hollywood blockbuster of the same name was filmed), and the Final Furlong - you get the picture.
