MOONLIGHT MILES
What is Moonlight Miles?
Moonlight Miles began in the winter of 2021 as an opportunity to keep fell running with like-minded people through the dark months. It’s far easier to stay motivated and safe running in the dark and cold with a group than it is individually, and as someone who really enjoys winter running, I felt this would be a great idea for a social running group.
Evolving into 2025/26
Sessions have cycled through a few incarnations and set ups now and is set for another season for 2025/26.
Where and when we Run
Based in a reasonably tight radius around the Keswick area, the runs vary week to week from short and easy to longer and more technical. We run on varying days of the week from 6:30pm
A Sociable and Welcoming Community
Always sociable and welcoming, offering an opportunity to feel the call of the wild under the moon and stars — or perhaps rain and cloud!
How to Join Moonlight Miles
It’s arranged through a WhatsApp group (what isn’t now!). All are welcome to get in touch and subsequently join the group.
Fitness and Experience Needed
An intermediate level of fell running fitness and experience is strongly recommended to join these runs, as the darkness and weather conditions give the base level of demand a higher threshold.
A Community Running Group
Moonlight Miles is a community running group. There is no fixed pricing, donations are welcome — or better still pay it on in your own way.
Support Through Sharing
We’ve had some fantastic favours and exchanges of kit and more in the past, as well as the odd pub meal shouted in my grateful direction!
