Firstly, I'd just like to pass on my thanks to the wardens and those organising for their hard work and dedication to ensure events such as this can take place in an organised way. My only suggestion would be that perhaps it may be worthwhile staging out things like advising runners to turn off head lamps, taking their number, giving their medal, etc. As opposed to it all being inside the one tipi. I get that it was probably owing to the cool evening. That way it eases congestion and for runners who have perhaps given their last ounce of effort gives them a moment to slow down before ultimately stopping and being shepherded on.

Nonetheless, you guys should be proud for what you do! I'd love to do this again but next time more for fun and to take in the scenery better! Thanks a lot!

Great event - loved it!
A few minor points to make it better:
1. Better signage at one point on the way back.
2. A clearer ‘finish line’
3. Signage to get back to Greenside car park

It was my first 10K and I am a new runner in the over 60s bracket. I was nervous but everyone was friendly. My only disappointment was I can't see my time on the results page. I was at the end of the pack.

A well organised night run. Loads of fun, I would highly recommend it. The location was stunning!!!

Everything a trail run event should be - set in stunning scenery with mud, challenging hills, and a great community atmosphere.

Second time for Dark Skies, but have ran other events with Trail Outlaws. Not would, but currently recommending to others they should do it - especially those that run the half marathon in October. Hopefully, there'll be a few more of us next year.

Well organised and not too busy.

Fantastic event and experience
Volunteers and organisers were top class from start to finish

Thank you

Would have to have a couple of marshals on the course.

I have ran and marshalled at the dark skies, the setup, marshals and atmosphere is amazing. If there are any participants that look like they are in trouble there is always an abundance of runners that will check on them including the marshals. Great views before it gets dark and if you are lucky and have time turn off your torch and take in the night skies.

Huge kudos to the team, I came by myself as my sis was ill and everyone was so welcoming and friendly!!!

Something very different and a lot of fun. Amazing running through the woods in darkness other than everyone’s head torch lights.
Only improvement I’d like for next year is more, and larger, direction signs.

It was an amazing event, well organised and clearly marked. One of the aid stations seemed to be in a different location than in the race guide but this didn't cause any issues. One small thing that we noticed was that there was a lot of toads (and unfortunately crushed) due to runners. I think this was because it was a cracking day so they had come out of hibernation, but maybe something to note due to the timing of the event.
