If you enjoy trail running in the daylight, then you are in for a real treat running in the dark! It's an amazing experience; your senses are heightened, you immerse yourself deep in the surroundings, with your head torch on the trails streak past you at warp speed, you concentrate on making that perfect foot placement so as not to take a tumble. Head to the stunning Sika Trail in Wareham Forest. A perfect location for this pre-Xmas Dark event, the route takes in Forest, heath and some open pastures. The Sika Trail is a stone's throw away from Poole but you will feel a million miles away from civilisation. This area is famous for its birdlife and whilst running the trails around Wareham Forest you might be lucky enough to see Sika deer or the odd barn owl! The Dorset Dark routes are designed for all levels of runner, with very little elevation these 3 routes can test you in a different way. All dogs must be kept on a harness throughout the race and are the responsibility of their owners.
