Night races
Grab your headtorch, pull on the hi-vis gear and take a trip to the dark side. And mind how you go
SILVA DARK SERIES
The November edition of this winter race series takes runners from the splendid Denbies Wine Estate onto a hilly section of the North Downs. The long line of bobbing headtorches snaking out into the inky blackness of the countryside is always a magical and inspiring sight. Dorking, Surrey, November 10, maverick-race.com
SUPERNOVA 5K
Scottish readers who live in, or close to, Falkirk, please take note: Helix Park will once again be hosting this 3.1-mile trot that gives you a chance to run past the Kelpies – two 30-metre-high, 300-tonne equine statues, which will be dazzlingly lit specially for the evening races.

MAD BULL CHALLENGE
A five-mile trail run around the grounds of Rivington Hall Barn and through surrounding woodland and countryside. In previous years, runners have caught a glimpse of deer and other wildlife out for a nocturnal stroll. Sturdy trail shoes are a must for this one.
