About the race
Hamsterley Moon Runner-10k is a 10-kilometre head-torch trail race held in Hamsterley Forest, the largest forest in County Durham. The fully waymarked course weaves along forest trails and woodland tracks, offering a wild yet peaceful night-time atmosphere enhanced by moonlight and reflective markers. The route suits both novices and seasoned runners, with no strict cut-off times.
Expect a varied surface: hard-packed gravel, twisting dirt paths, short steep downhills and occasional mud. The event includes marshals, medical support, toilets, parking, and a race HQ, plus a memento, race photographs, wildflower seeds, and prizes for top finishers. Eco-friendly ethos, no disposable cups; entry £24 UKA members, £26 non-members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
