The Ultimate Night Time Challenge
The Night Run is the second event of the opening day of the festival, following right after the colourful fun of the Trail Colour Run. As the sun sets, get ready to take on the 2.5km lap course with your headlamp lighting the way!
With a 2-hour time limit, this event is perfect for individuals wanting to rack up the miles or a relay team of 2-4 people ready to take on the challenge together. Each person runs a lap before tagging in their teammate—easy, exciting, and full of energy!
Feel the thrill as you pass DJ Alexi, keeping the beats going to fuel your run. Colour Run participants will still be there, cheering and adding to the festival buzz. It's more than just a race; it's a night full of excitement, music, and festival vibes!
Join us for this epic adventure!

We couldn’t do it without these absolute legends!
It’s really simple, these events don’t happen without the commitment and support of a whole bunch of cool people, and organisations that share the vision of what we are trying to achieve. We are so grateful to those who got on board, and believe, like we do, the benefits of getting people into the outdoors and nature - and for their support of Total Sport. Some of these partners have been with us for a very long time, and feel like family, and some are newbies. Please support them wherever you can, as their support enables us to do what we do, which means you get to do what you love to do - everyone wins!!
