White Star Running returns once again to Rushmore Estate in Wiltshire and its amazing countryside scenery to host the popular Ox weekend of races. 

The Dark Ox is a quarter-marathon event (10.5km) that complements the other Ox races over the weekend, and gives you a chance to try your luck on the route in the dark! The course is on rough woodland trail and will be steep in some places, both up and down. The course around Cranbourne Chase woods will be marked and signposted. Once you've finished a bit of running and messing about in the dark, you’ll be rewarded with a medal and your goodies.

The race starts at 9pm, therefore all competitors must wear a head or chest torch.

The cut-off time for the Dark Ox event is 2 hours. 

Minimum age requirement for entry is 16 years old. For general race questions, see our FAQs.

There will be hot food and drink vendors ready to serve you pre- and post-race. 

Prizes are awarded on the line for the first three male and female runners, with all finishers receiving a medal and some yummy Dorset food and drink for completing the event. 

Camping can be booked in our exclusive 'athletes' village' here. Alternatively, there is a list of local accommodation here: Accommodation Listings.
