Moonlight Meander

View all races for Nov 2026

Moonlight Meander takes place around Swinsty and Fewston Reservoirs in North Yorkshire, offering an evening trail running experience through woodland and alongside the water. Participants can choose between 3 Mile and 6.7 Mile distances, following scenic routes that take on a different atmosphere after dark.

The undulating trail courses follow well maintained woodland paths and reservoir trails, with gentle climbs and descents adding variety to the route. Runners navigate the dark using headtorches and other lights, with both distances clearly signed and marshalled. Feed and drink stations are available approximately every three miles, providing support along the way.

Organised by It's Grim Up North Running, the event combines a welcoming race atmosphere with the challenge of running through woodland at night. Every finisher receives a bespoke medal and treats, while public toilets and parking are available close to the registration area. The illuminated runners and peaceful reservoir surroundings create a memorable evening running experience.
