About This Event

Race The Light returns on Saturday 28 November 2026, presenting an 8.5-mile run that winds through the private Flete Estate in Plymouth. Participants will navigate shadowy tracks and trails, with the route featuring a double crossing of the Erme Estuary. For those seeking a longer test of endurance, a half marathon option is also available. The venue remains to be confirmed, and all ticket prices are listed on the event’s official website. This nocturnal challenge promises a unique blend of coastal scenery and woodland darkness, demanding both resilience and a head torch. Runners will contend with the shifting tides of the estuary crossing, adding an element of natural unpredictability to the course. Whether tackling the shorter distance or the half marathon, entrants should prepare for uneven terrain and the atmospheric isolation of a private estate after dark. The event is designed for those who relish off-road adventure under the stars, with the precise starting point to be announced closer to the date. Check the website for updates on venue confirmation and pricing details.
