About the Event

Dive deep into the heart of Dare Valley Country Park for a 7-hour endurance challenge unlike any other. This race isn’t just about reaching the finish line; it’s an opportunity to explore breathtaking natural beauty while pushing your personal limits.
From dawn till dusk, runners will weave through rolling hills and lush woodlands, their path illuminated by nature's ever-changing light show. The air is filled with serene scents of pine trees mixed with wildflowers and fresh earth — a constant reminder that you are far from the city’s hustle and bustle. Each step taken reveals hidden gems like quaint streams flowing beneath ancient bridges or panoramic views stretching out to distant mountains.
The race organizers ensure there's more than just hard-earned miles: after crossing what may be your longest finish line, runners will receive a goody bag tailored specifically for this event — something thoughtful that both seasoned athletes and newcomers appreciate. Additionally, all who complete the journey are awarded an exclusive themed medal celebrating their achievement in pushing through distance and time.
But beyond medals and souvenirs lies the true spirit of Dare Valley Country Park’s race: it's about connecting with nature on a profound level while challenging your body to achieve feats you might have never thought possible. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or savoring every moment spent under blue skies, this event encapsulates both ambition and enjoyment.
Join us at Dare Valley Country Park and discover why running through untouched wilderness is far more than physical exercise — it’s an adventure that leaves indelible memories in its wake and inspires further exploration into the endless possibilities of your own potential as a runner.
Participating here marks not only crossing miles but also embarking on a transformative journey that promises to invigorate both body and soul, setting the stage for more such incredible experiences ahead.
