🌅🏃‍♀️ RUN THE TRACK. CHASE THE SUN. OWN THE NIGHT. 🏁✨

There’s road running… and then there’s running around an actual RACETRACK as the sun disappears behind you. 😎

Welcome to the Red Star Sunset Marathon! 🌅

Whether you’re taking on the 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km or Fun Run, there’s one little Red Star trick worth knowing…

👉 HUG THOSE CORNERS! 😂
Our track is around 10 metres wide, so your running line makes a difference. Stick to the inside through the bends and you’ll save yourself a few extra metres. Wander out wide admiring the sunset and, well… congratulations, you’ve just volunteered for some bonus running. 🤣🏃‍♂️

And those little rises around the circuit?
They may look innocent… 👀
With roughly 12m of elevation gain per lap, your legs might have a slightly different opinion after a few trips around! 😂

But THAT is what makes Red Star different.

🏁 A racetrack under your feet
🌅 Sunset all around you
🎶 An atmosphere that comes alive as darkness falls
🏃‍♀️ Four distances for every kind of runner
✨ And one seriously unforgettable night out on track

So pick your distance, find your line and get ready to RUN DOWN THE SUN & OWN THE NIGHT! 🌅➡️🌙
