Into The Darkness

Join us for a fun and challenging night at Kulim Park as we run Into The Darkness!

Born as an event out of Dubai, Into The Darkness isn't a typical race.

No podiums. No rules. Just you, the dark, and everything in your mind.

Come run one lap (5km) or ten (50km). The challenge you set is up to you and what you choose.

Turn up at 7:30pm so you can find parking, get ready, chat to mates and hear the briefing at 7:45pm. We will start at 8pm on the dot.

Aim of ITD:
To challenge yourself with zero race pressure and experience running in the darkness with the safety of numbers, and a hub acting as a base/aid station.

*your purchase of this ticket ensures that you agree to participate in Into The Darkness at your own risk and understand that you will be running in a public space, in winter, in the dark.

Frequently asked questions

Is the event free?

Yes, this event is for the community, it is free of charge. We are just supplying a safe space for you to run at night, in the dark.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes you can! Please ensure your is on a leash at all times and has their own light or Hi Vis harness so runners can see where they are.

I haven't run a half marathon before but I'd love to do it at ITD is that okay?

Absolutely! Last year we can people run the furtherest they've ever run and others that broke their PBs in different distances. ITD is all about challenging yourself in a fun environment with others doing the same. Get out there and make it happen!

Can I come at 10pm after work?

Yes you can! Ideally starting with everyone at 8pm means you'll have the full 4 hours to complete your challenge but if you're happy only running for 2 hours then that's all good!
