About
If you’re after an event that’s a little different – this is it! Welcome to the Tunnel Vision Night and Dawn Runs. Tunnel Vision is an out and back, 5 mile running race. Long enough to be a challenge for quality athletes and short enough to be achievable for less experienced runners looking for a challenge. Both the night and dawn routes take in the very long and very dark Oxendon Tunnel. At 422m long, the old railway tunnel really is an imposing sight and pitch black. So we light it (mood lighting only, runners still need a headtorch) and provide a unique opportunity to run through it ….and back again. The Dawn Run has the added bonus of a sunrise to enjoy too.
