Storm The Fort - part of the Dark Skies Series of trail runs 2023/24

Storm the Fort is the second event in the ‘Dark Skies Series’ of night trail running events, a four event series spanning from Brean Down in Somerset to Baggy Point in North Devon. 

Comprising of 5km and 10km route options, Storm the Fort utilises Brean Down, a ridge like land mass that protrudes into the Bristol Channel between Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham on Sea to deliver a 5km, traffic free course on the down that even enters the old World War II fort buildings to really add to the atmosphere! 2 laps are completed for the 10km.

This course has a couple of cheeky climbs to access the down but all on good trails and tracks. Making your way around the course you’ll climb steeply onto the down before a nice steady section out to the fort before climbing a short technical section to gain the main ridge before dropping back down to the finish line! A clear night will make for stunning. night time view across to South Wales and back towards Weston. It’s a stunning venue to run at night, you won’t be dissapointed 

Registration will open at 18:15, 10km starts at 19:25 and the 5km starts at 19:35.

Enter the whole 4 event series, the 2 event Somerset mini series or just the Moonlit Meadow Run. The choice will is yours.

Our bespoke wooden finisher’s medals are available as an optional extra, can you collect all four?

As part of our drive to make our events waste free we have chosen to make the medal an optional extra, those who love their race bling can purchase theirs when entering but must enter at least 2 weeks prior to race day.
