Night Run

NEW 8km NIGHT run around Hogsback lanes and forest trails

Light up the night and start the weekend off right!
An easy to follow, well marked route sticking close to the trails and backroads around Hogsback so you can be back in time for dinner. Expect light sticks and facepaint and warm fires back at the finish.

Friday 25 April 2025 - 18h30

Good to Know

  • The route is marked with reflective, reusable tape

  • You DO need a torch

  • You CAN dress up and be silly, why not!?

  • There will be DIY face paint and light sticks available

  • Exact route still to be finalised. Do not fear, it will be well marked and easy to follow provided you have a torch.
