Wild & Mild Night Run 2027

The Wild & Mild Night Run starts and finishes at South Brent Old School Community Centre in Devon. Runners head out after dark onto Dartmoor edge terrain, with two marked trail options: 5 miles and 9 miles. Both routes use footpaths and open ground, not roads. Headtorches are required. Organisers recommend carrying the route on a device or using OS maps, as the course reaches open moorland in low light. The route climbs from South Brent along river paths before opening onto Dartmoor. It returns over muddy hills, rural tracks, rough trails, and short tarmac sections. The event brings back the King and Queen of the Night, who act as moving beacons for other runners, with prizes for the first runner to beat them. After the run, Really Wild Coffee serves warm food, teas, coffees, and muffins. Runners can stay at the Old School Community Centre for live music and a sauna.
