Maverick Oxfordshire Trail Run 2026

Maverick Dark Oxfordshire sends runners onto the trails in the dark, with head torches doing the work that daylight usually does. It starts and finishes at Stonor Park near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, with a 5:00pm start and route options of 5K, 7K, 12K, and 17K. It is a paid Maverick Race event, and all the distances sit on the challenging side rather than feeling like flat park loops. The routes stay inside the Stonor Park estate, which sits in the Chiltern Hills and is split by the River Thames. The estate has fallow deer, and wallabies have been seen there too, which gives the night setting a strange extra detail. Runners need to watch their footing closely in the dark, and reviews point out how the format sharpens the senses. Mav Run Project members get a discount, volunteers can earn a free race entry, and results from several past editions show that the race has built a regular history.
