Not Long Until Air Ambulance's Dash In The Dark Lands On Isle Of Wight

There's just over two weeks to go until Dash in the Dark arrives on the Isle of Wight.

The 5km night-time fun run is raising money for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

Director of Income and Engagement, Keith Wilson, said:

“Dash in the Dark is a highlight of our year. And it is incredibly exciting that we’re now able to bring this event to our dedicated supporters on the Island who have played such a huge part in this charity’s history.

"Since the first Dash in 2019, over £56,000 has been raised – all going towards helping those who are in desperate need of emergency critical care.”

Last year the life-saving charity responded to 110 critically-ill patients on the Isle of Wight.

Check in on the night will open at 5.30pm at Saturday, October 8. The warm up will start at 6:30pm, with the 5km dash beginning at 6:45pm, as darkness falls.

The route is softly lit and paved throughout, though head torches are essential. All participants will receive a free Dash in the Dark T-shirt and a glow in the dark medal at the finish line.

Full adult price - £20
Full child price - £16

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via the charity’s website, here: www.hiowaa.org.
