FAQs

See how far you or you and your team can run over 24hrs. Starting at midday on Saturday and finishing 24hrs. See how many loops you can complete and points you can collect.

First runners will start from the Event Village at midday and the event will run until midday the following day.

Yes absolutely. We know sometimes with events people get injured or cannot take part. We are happy for people to switch their challenge. We will allow teams to change challenge before they check-in at the Event Village in case its a last minute decision.

See how far you and your friends can run over 12hrs. Starting once the sun is up at 8am on Saturday and finishing 12hrs later. See how many loops you and your team can complete.

First runners will start from the Event Village at 8am on Saturday and see how many miles can be clocked up in 12 hours. The latest a runner can start a loop is 7.59pm.

Draft loops are now available on the ABOUT pages on the website. We will do a route recce in April and see which paths are available to use, and whether we can open up any new paths not previously used.

There is no real difference. Individuals can choose which loops they want to run and when. As part of a team only one runner can run at a time and the decision over runner order and which loops runners take on is up to the team.

You need to be invited by a Team Captain. If one of your friends / club mates / colleagues has signed up as a Team Captain and you want to join their team, ask them to send you a link from their entry portal. Please be aware that being invited to enter does not guarantee you an entry. There is a limit to the number of runners we can accept at Luna Relay and even if you have been invited to join a team your entry will not be confirmed until you have made payment.

By following the entry system choose which challenge you would like to take on - The 24hr or Dawn ‘til Dusk. Select Team Challenge for the event you would like to become a Captain for.

Anyone over the age of 16 on the day of the event. Luna Trail is an event for Park Runners to Ultra Runners. Whilst there will be some competitive teams / runners the majority of participants will be taking part to enjoy a relay in an amazing environment.

We are afraid not. The venue for Luna Trail is very rural with majority of the routes taking place on uneven farm land, on single tracks or through very rutted woodland paths.

Due to the nature of Luna Trail there is no set route or distance. We are leaving the decision to runners on which loops they take on and in which order. Loops will be between 3miles and 8miles. Runners can do a single loop or multiples of loops.

Yes friends and family can join you. Each entry includes one spectator pass which gives them access to the event and camping. See each event web page for what is included.

Cancellation of the Event by Luna Relay Limited We reserve the right to cancel the Event if: circumstances beyond our reasonable control arise which affect the safety and security of the participants and/or spectators or affect our ability to hold the Event, including, without limitation, war, civil or political unrest, terrorism or inclement weather conditions; or before the Event Date we have not, in our sole discretion, received a sufficient number of applications to ensure that there are enough attendees/participants to make the Event economically viable. Where practicable, we will provide written notice of cancellation to the email address we hold for you. In the event notice by email is not practicable due to timescales we will use reasonable endeavours to provide other suitable methods of notice including text message, updates to our website and radio broadcasts etc. In the event of cancellation of the Event your entry will be automatically deferred to the next date for the Event free of additional charge. We will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for travelling or associated expenses.

Please note that team members will be emailed from 8 weeks out of the event, asking for their team name and details. If you haven't added yours yet, don't worry.

When selecting a team name, please remember that Luna is a family friendly event. Teams are encouraged to bring their families, friends, and supporters to the event (paid passes required). Children will be present at the event. We encourage you to think about how children might respond to your team name when the announcer calls it over the loudspeaker. Use the same respect when considering your campsite decorations and team t-shirts.

All race packs will be collected from the event village ahead of the events starting.

If you are taking part in the Challenges we suggest you arrive at the event village AT LEAST 2hrs before your start time so you can establish your camping area, and have plenty of time ahead of the event briefing.

If you are taking part in the 10km / Half Marathon we suggest you arrive at the event village 45minutes before your start time to allow you to collect your number and attend the event briefing.

We will send out guidance to all registrants closer to the event days on what to bring with them - and this may change depending on the weather forecast.

All participants must carry their own water-bottle or bladder.

Please also make sure you run or hike with a fully charged phone.

If you are running at night, you must wear something reflective and a headtorch.

We highly recommend all runners where trail running trainers and all hikers/walkers where good quality walking shoes. 

Depending on the weather forecast we recommend runners carry with them a lightweight jacket. We will have well stocked fuel and hydration stations but we recommend carrying either bars or gels between aid stations.

We know how important it is to you, to have an accurate count of laps and distance, and to know where your teammates are on their loop. 

We will be providing each solo runner, or team with a tracker that keeps ‘track’ of you. 

This will be collected when running numbers are collected on the day.

Teams will pass their tracker to the next teammate going out on a loop when changing over in the exchange area.

We suggest you either run with shorts / leggings that has pockets to hold the tracker (credit card sized) or a team belt / bum bag that can be easily handed between you.

They must be handed back in at the end of the event / when you or your team has finished all running.

Teammates will be able to each other's progress on the tracking app / TV screen from within the changeover area, and we plan to have a live leaderboard with up-to-date distances for all to see.

But best of all, teams can monitor when a teammate is due to come in and get prepped and ready to run!

Luna Trail is made up of four loops, which our CHALLENGES and 10km / Half Marathon share.

The starts for all four loops are within the event village.  The 10km / Half Marathon start a short walk away from the event village, and finishes within the event village.

There are no toilets on the loops, so please use the loo before you start your next leg / before the 10km / Half Marathon.

Yes for all events we will have a baggage drop area by the info area.  The baggage area is not secure and items are left at owners risk. 

In extreme cases we may need to pause the events if we expect extreme temperatures, heavy rain or gale force winds. Eridge Park is surrounded by very old Woods, and in stormy conditions the woods will become unsafe to run in.  We may stop all runners leaving the event village while we assess the conditions.

We will not be providing cups.

All participants must carry their own water-bottle or bladder that can hold at least 500ml of water. Opportunities to re-fill will be available at the event village.

Please arrive at the start with your water bottle filled.

There are four loops from the Event Village - Green, Blue, Red and Black (if you've been skiing before you know where this is heading). The loops are pointed at different woods on the Eridge Estate.

We are aiming on trying to make the total distance 20miles if all four loops were completed in order. There isn't a lot of flat land at Eridge Park so we'd expect total elevation for the 20miles to be over 1000m.

The loops will be well marked with signage throughout. The signs will be reflective for night-time running. You must have at least a Head Torch to be allowed out onto the route. Luna Trail Relay recommends running with a head torch that is focussed on the path in front of you and a hand torch that is directed further up the route / seeking out course signs. Phone signal is quite strong around the park, so taking your mobile in case of an emergency or you get lost is suggested.

There will be no water / fuel stations on the loops unless there is very hot weather. Please come prepared to carry your own water / fuel during the runs. You will be able to refill your water bottles at the event village and campsite.

No, the course is not marshalled.

If you are nervous about running at night-time solo we suggest running with a teammate. If you become injured and are worried about completing a loop we also suggest taking a teammate. Spectators are attending the event to cheer on runners and should not join runners in completing their loop.

Simple answer is No. Total distance of all four loops might be as far as 20 miles - final distances will be announced closer to the event. If you are running solo / in a pair you might find you complete more than 20 miles total distance but we don’t expect you to run all four loops, nor do we expect you to run in any order. It is your decision. 

If you are in a team of ten doing the ‘24’ you would need to cover 200miles in 24hrs, which would be Olympian in effort! 

It is likely that as a team you will cover all of the loops but as individuals you may cover 1-3 loops.

These take in some of the ultra loops, and best parts of Eridge Park. They will be challenging but all level of trail runners will be able to take part - don't forget you can walk when you want!

One night of camping is included in the Dawn til Dusk, 10km or Half Marathon entry, and two nights are included in the 24hr entry.

For every runner - individual or in a team - you will need somewhere to leave belongings, a space to get changed, a space to R&R, get food and have some time off running. The campsite is effectively a 'camp' for people to go when they are not running. So you may not need a tent or even shelter but you will need somewhere that is yours that you can go to, that is relatively secure in between running

You will be camping on a grass field

We are unable to offer you an electric hook-up for your campsite and caravan

We welcome people to bring caravans and campervans. Due to the nature of the event site we have to position you according to the ground conditions and weather.  

We will confirm details in time but Eridge Park is the size of 3,000 football pitches, so we do not expect there to be an issue with camping space

At this point we expect camping spaces to be allocated on a first served basis.

There will be event staff, marshals and medics on-site at all times however we cannot secure every team's tent. We suggest not leaving valuables in the campsite unattended.

Joe Box

Back for 2026! The Joe Box was the thing of dreams last year, keeping everyone caffeinated while also serving up some tasty pastries and sausage rolls. Tirelessly, he stayed up through the night to keep our Lunarians going with brilliant coffee and hot drinks … expect more of the same this year.

Leonati Pizza

Enjoy authentic 13-inch pizzas, freshly served from the Pizza Truck on Friday afternoon / evening (if you’re camping over that night) and Saturday afternoon/evening! Their pizzas feature a tender, pillowy crust with aromatic holes and delicious toppings. At Pizza Leonati, they take pride in being recognised for serving the "Best Pizza in Sussex."

Rascal’s Banging Breakie

On Sunday what more could you and your aching limbs and tired head want than a really good brunch / breakfast muffin or brioche concoction (see below)? We will have this amazing local caterer along for the morning on Sunday through to lunchtime with their delicious menu including hash browns. YUM.

There will also be water provided in the event village for refilling your bottles from. 

If you wish to book glamping with our partner Life's A Pitch, please email us for info: support@lunatrail.zendesk.com

We are afraid that we will not be able to offer hot showers.

IMPORTANT: Campfires and BBQs are NOT allowed in the grounds, during the event at any time.  

Camping stoves with gas canisters up to 500g are allowed.

YES! Camping is included for all of our 2026 events, relevant to when your event is taking place. See the individual event pages.

If you are a 24HR solo runner, there will be spaces made available that are closest to the start area for your ease!

They will also be a very short walk from the start.
