About the Event

Light up the winter forest at the Haldon Night trail races on Saturday, 17 January 2026, from 5:30 PM in the enchanting Haldon Forest near Exeter. This popular evening event offers a thrilling 10km and a 5km looped course, both meticulously marked with reflective signage for a safe, immersive night running experience under headtorch beams. Adding to the festive atmosphere are dedicated 1km and 2km children's races, a canicross category, and a fun competition for the best illuminated or festive hat, creating a magical outing for the whole family.

With staggered starts from 5:30 PM, the event blends adventure with professional organization, providing chip timing, medals for all finishers, and post-race refreshments. It’s the perfect antidote to the January blues—a chance to embrace the crisp night air, explore the shadowy trails, and share a unique, glowing sense of camaraderie in the heart of the Devon woodland.
