The Darlington Trail Night Run is an evening 5K based at Hopetown Museum in Darlington. Open to runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities, the event takes place after dark and requires every participant to bring a head torch before collecting their race number.
The night setting gives the 5K a different character from the daytime events in the Darlington Trail series, with runners completing the course by head torch before returning to Hopetown. The event is designed to be accessible across a range of abilities, with prizes for the leading male and female finishers alongside spot prizes.
The Darlington Trail Night Run provides a distinctive 5K running experience in Darlington and marks the conclusion of the organiser's annual trail programme. After the run, the event hosts the presentation for the Darlington Trail 5K and 10K series, recognising the series winners and bringing runners together at the end of the season.
