The Bright Skies is a thrilling daytime trail half marathon,10K, and 5K race (with cani-cross races), as well as a 1K/2K kid’s race for 3-11 year-olds. Bright Skies was born off the back of the Dark Skies event (part of the Wild Night Run Series), after several people said they loved the route but would like to see some of it!
It follows an undulating yomp through Surrey’s muddy, rolling hills in Dorking. Passing through the Denbies Estate in the Surrey Hills, this is the fifth event at Denbies which is a fantastic venue!
This event is part of Bright Skies Surrey Hills.
Functional running wear and appropriate off-road running shoes are presupposed for all races. The course will be muddy, so grippy fell type shoes would be the best option. Road shoes are not appropriate.

I loved every minute of this race. It was a beautiful course, varied and well marked and supported. It was my first canicross race. Also bought wine after I finished. Recommend this race. My only issue would be, please can there be a water trough at the feed station for dogs. Was a very hot day. Thanks. Angiolina
Delighted to win a prize! Great course and friendly organisers. Live this location. Thanks and see you next year! Farida K
My grandson, aged 4, had a great race. Loved the medal. Definitely wants to do more/again next year. Thank you to the event team. Dougie T
A very pleasant trail run in the country. It was very dry and warm so not much mud to deal with. A long uphill section in the first half, but rewarded by the same downhill in the second. Some great views over the Surrey Hills. Great to see it included Canix events too. Andrew B
The race was very well organised, well-signposted, and well-marshalled. A thoroughly enjoyable yet tough event, and for a worthy cause. Sustainable wooden medals with the option of donating the value to the chosen charity for the event. Lawrence M
