What you’re in for

Bright Skies is a daytime trail event from Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking, on muddy, rolling Surrey Hills paths. Wild Running set it up as a daylight version of its Dark Skies night race. Distances run from 5k to a marathon with 1,072m of climb, and there are canicross categories and kids' races. The first half of the marathon is largely self-navigated, with reassurance and wrong-way markers and two compulsory checkpoints. The second half, inside the Denbies estate, is fully marked, and GPS devices are allowed. The organiser has not published a date for the next running.
