Light the Night X BOLDLI: London
Join SOAR and BOLDLI for Light the Night London, a concept born in 2023 from a conversation between two friends: Rebecca Taylor of SOAR Women and Flo Papougnot of Your Friendly Runners and Hot Boys Athletics. It's a collective movement that creates an opportunity for women to feel free and safe when running in the dark. A chance to fill dark, intimidating spaces with light and noise.
On Wednesday 27th November we’ll come together as one group, for a night of running, music, and freedom, as we light up the night with a 7 km run across Hampstead Heath. Led by co-founders of BOLDLI, elite athlete Steph McCall, Olympian Rose Harvey and writer and runner Natasha Edwards, we’ll shine a light on women's safety and reclaim a favourite route lost to winter darkness, ending with drinks and prizes at Camden Town Brewery.
Dress Code: Festive Lights
Wear your brightest colours, reflective clothing, a headtorch, running shoes, and lots of festive lights. Prizes for best dressed from Knog wearable running lights.
