Also held on July 7th, the historic Eridge Park in Kent transformed into a vibrant hub of activity for the Luna Trail Relay. This unique relay brough athletes together to run trails both day and night. There were three distinct challenges: The 24HR, The Weekender, and Dawn ‘til Dusk, allowing teams and solo runners the chance to conquer various distances over different loops.
Sportstiks provided the race bibs for this event, ensuring that they were not just durable but also comfortable for every runner for their long run ahead. The Luna Trail Relay was more than just a race, with its stunning routes and team spirits, it was an unforgettable experience. It’s safe to say that everyone walked (or ran) away with great memories of friendship and achievement.
