About the Event

On August 2, 2026, entries for an exhilarating night race open up exclusively to those with valid Hardmoors Ltd voucher codes from Monday through Wednesday. The race itself takes place on the evening of Thursday, August 3rd, inviting participants to explore a challenging yet rewarding course under the cover of darkness.
Located in Sutton Bank Visitor Centre near Thirsk (YO7 2EH), this event is designed for runners who enjoy pushing their limits and immersing themselves in trail running at night. The race covers approximately seven miles with a three-hour time limit, offering both ascent and descent on rugged terrain that requires careful navigation.
Registration begins promptly at 6:00 PM (18:00) on the day of the event, providing runners just enough time to familiarize themselves with safety guidelines before the start. The race kicks off exactly one hour later at 7:00 PM (19:00).
A key highlight is that all participants will receive a thorough kit check upon registration to ensure they have everything needed for this unique experience. Essential items include a head torch or flashlight, waterproof clothing, and protective gear such as hats and gloves, given the race's exposure to the elements.
The route itself is marked with glow sticks throughout its entirety, ensuring clear visibility even in low-light conditions. Additionally, marshals will be stationed along key points of the course for added safety and guidance. This event isn't just about racing; it’s an opportunity to hone your skills on dark trails while enjoying a fun-filled evening among fellow runners.
Parking is conveniently available at Sutton Bank Visitor Centre, making logistics straightforward for participants heading over from nearby areas or further away. Remember that entry fees include registration and access to all race amenities, but no entries will be accepted on the day itself—so don't miss out on securing your spot early!
This event promises an unforgettable night of adventure and camaraderie, perfect for anyone looking to test their abilities in a unique setting.
