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.

Entries for events are limited, and at least one event WILL sell out, so don’t hang about...

“Robin Hood, Robin Hood, running through the mud....” (ahem).

After the fabulous fun had by all at 2011’s event, our attentions have already turned to 2012, for another riot of a run amongst the Pines of Sherwood.

For 2012, we’ll be back, bigger, and even better. For starters, March means an earlier start time for both 5k and 10k, which roughly translates as the chance to camp onsite the night before, more darkness, and more time to relax (party) afterwards. The course will remain relatively unchanged from 2011, with firm favourites the Borrow Hole, the Swamp, and Legendary Spooky Wood all making a welcome return.

Fancy dress is part of the fun, with Lincoln Green top of the what-to-wear list. When the gun goes off, a marauding mob of Merry Maids and Friendly Friars will charge across the starting hurdles, and into the trees, towards the many challenges that await them.

Whether you sign up to the daylight 5k(ish) or the torchlit 10k(and a bit), you’re all welcome to attend the Notorious after-party, with legendary live music and local hospitality, and a chance to sleep soundly in our onsite camping area.

For the 10k, don’t forget your headtorch: you’re gonna need it, right from the start. Night Navigation Mystery Discipline Trail Running/Walking Entry Fee( GBP ) 35See All Event Posts
