12Hours Night Run Festival Challenge

What’s better than spending your evening walking around a secure field with your friends and family?  This is the first unique walking and running wellness event where there is no finish line and mandatory distance. You decide how far and for how long you want to keep going!

On Saturday 17th August at 6.30 pm challengers will line up at the start line for what will be the start of a night-long challenge running around a 500-metre track.

This challenge will bring together walkers and runners in a night of fun, running, and good music to cheer the challengers as they go round the track repeatedly.
