About this race
Mendip Aurora is the closing race of the Dark Skies Series, with 5K and 10K night trail options starting at 7:30pm. It uses the grounds of Mendip Activity Centre near Churchill in Somerset, with the start listed at BS25 5PQ.
The 5K route is traffic-free and runs around Sandford Quarry and the activity centre grounds; the 10K is two laps of the same course. The ground is undulating, with a few climbs, and runners do the whole thing under moonlight rather than in daylight.
