Our Starburster events start at sunset (Saturday, 5pm) and take in the twilight sights and sounds of the wonderful Hurn Forest. Starting at Hospital Services Cricket Club, this out and back route follows the main trail through the forest. Choose from either 5 or 10 mile events.

As this is a sunset / twilight event, head / chest torches are essential. Additional lights are encouraged; the more 'stars' the better! Starburster derives it's name from the Fontaines DC song of the same name - it's loud, it's proud, it's boom-y & it's a bit different. A perfect pick-me-up for January evening, really!

Trail shoes are recommended but not essential as the track is hardstanding and well maintained.

20% of entry costs will go to Forestry England to support maintenance of the nation's forests and trails.

We will have an aid and drinks station at the start/finish, with a selection of savoury and sweet items. Please note we do not provide plastic cups; bring your own.

Toilets are available inside the cricket club as well as a space to leave bags.

Minimum age for our 5 mile event is 16 years and for our 10 mile event is 17 years.
