It is perfectly safe to run at night, provided if running alone you keep to well-lit areas or you train with a group of people.
When running in the dark, wherever you are, it is advisable to wear reflective clothing, so that you can be seen by drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Commonly worn reflective clothing includes flourescent hats, jackets, gloves and sashes. These can be purchased in specialist running shops, online and in most reputable sports shops.
Even if you are running in a well-lit area and are dressed head to foot in reflective gear, you are still extremely vulnerable in the dark, and therefore it is extremely inadvisable to wear headphones.
