The Maverick Exposure Lights Dark Oxfordshire 2021
Saturday 4 December 2021 | Stonor Park
Welcome to the Maverick USE Exposure Dark Series Oxfordshire. If you enjoy trail running in the daylight then you are in for a real treat running in the dark! It's an amazing experience; your senses are heightened, you immerse yourself deep in the surroundings, with your head torch on the trails streak past you at warp speed, you concentrate on making that perfect foot placement so as not to take a tumble.
Oxfordshire Dark - why not! Starting and finishing in Stonor Park, which is split by the River Thames and nestled in the Chiltern Hills, this location can only be described as quintessential middle England. We love the Oxfordshire Original Series event, so it was only fitting that we experience this area in the dark. The 3 routes are all set in the estate which is home to fallow deer and wallabies......yep, we have actually seen a wallaby there! All the routes are relatively challenging and with 3 to choose from, there is something for everyone.
There is a distinct possibility you could even be running in the snow! Make sure you start the season strong and put this Dark Series event in your calendar as it's going to be a corker!....... And remember - The Darkness Awaits...
