The ever popular Starlight Trails Relays are back for the 2023-24 series.

Event #1 Thursday 9th November, 7pm @ Markeaton Park 

Event #2 Thursday 7th December, 7pm @ Shipley Park

Event #3 Thursday 4th January, 7pm @ Calke Abbey

​

They are an exciting series of off-road relay races, with a twist. They will be in the dark, with runners using head-torches to illuminate their way on the trails.

​

At each event teams will run 4 legs of 2 'country' miles but the courses will vary in difficulty.

​

The routes will be entirely off-road and use a variety of terrain, including hard-packed paths, woodland trails and grass. They will be well marked and have marshals at key points.

​

Team relays are renowned for creating a great atmosphere and being lots of fun for runners of all levels. So, with the added exhilaration of running at night, these races promise to be really exciting.

​

The overall number of teams in each event will be limited, so please register early to guarantee your place. There will be no entries on the day.

PLEASE NOTE: 

- Details of individual team members not required at time of entry. A 'Team Declaration' form will be sent out to team captains a week prior to the event.

- Please ensure that you choose the correct "ticket" with regards to the number of unaffiliated / affiliated runners in your team. Affiliation can be to UKA/EA Athletics or a Trail Running Association Member.
