About the event

Outrun The Night is a 12-hour trail running challenge open to all abilities, with no required distance and no expectation to run for the full 12 hours.

Take on the 5km loop solo or as a team of two or four, completing as many laps as you choose – from your first night trail run or 10km to a marathon, ultra or a place on the leaderboard. The course takes you through woodland trails and roads around Dalkeith Country Park, with every loop returning to base camp at Dalkeith Palace.
