KEEN Dark Forest Run 2026
KEEN Dark Forest Run takes place on 31 October 2026 at Sarimbun Scout Camp in Lim Chu Kang. The event is a night trail race held over looped routes through forested terrain. Headlamps or hand held torches are mandatory because parts of the course are in pitch black conditions.
Distances offered:
- 8 km
- 12 km
- 20 km
The route uses an approximately 4 km loop. The 8 km category comprises two loops, has listed elevation gain of 53 m, a 2 hour cut off, and three waterpoints. Terrain for the 8 km course is described as about 70% gravel or dirt road and 30% trails.
A non binary open gender category is available for all distances; male and female participants are not segregated in the results list for that category. The 20 km category carries UTMB Index accreditation. Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the open and masters categories.
