Explore Killerton after dark with a night run

On Saturday 22 November, runners, joggers and active youngsters can experience a new night time running event at Killerton Estate near Exeter.

Killerton Night Run offers two cross-country distances to either walk or run. Both the 1.5k Explore Route and the more challenging 6k Adventure Route are traffic free and marshalled by volunteers. Mulled wine and hot food will also be on sale.

On the same night Killerton switches on their Christmas lights. However, the Night Run courses are not lit, so head-torches or good hand torches are essential. Runners are encouraged to enter into the festive spirit and come in fancy dress with prizes for the best costumes.

Sandi Holland, Killerton sports development officer said: “Killerton Night Run follows off-road tracks and trails through our historic parkland and woodland. The Explore Route is perfect for families with youngsters or new runners aiming for their first organised running event. The Adventure Route is ideally suited to new runners looking for a bigger challenge or to experienced runners”.

Sandi continued: “This is a rare opportunity to explore Killerton after dark. The Christmas illuminations will make it a magical evening whatever the weather”.

Entry fees range from £7 for the Explore to £14 for the Adventure. To register visit nationaltrust.org.uk/nightrun
