The concept is simple, the challenge and terrain just that much harder having run in the Peak District before this is to be a fantastic ultra with the added twist of it being at night.
The following text has been taken from the event's website:
The challenge sounds simple. You start at 17:42 (sunset), and run all
night, but you must finish the course by 06:48 (sunrise). The course,
however, is 50 miles long and rises and falls through the Peak
District; accumulating over 9000ft of ascent. Of course you’re
wayfinding by torchlight too. That sounds like quite a tall order
right? Well, there’s a twist or two. The race takes place on the one
night of the year when Time throws you a lifeline. At 2am, the clocks
go back, giving you one more precious hour to finish the race. Nature
may also lend you a helping hand that night, weather dependant, as the
moon is almost full.
Whilst aware I have a bigger challenge in the next month I have been looking for something for the Autumn, this one bangs every one of my nails for a great race, Hills, Mud and most importantly NIGHT TIME RUNNING :-) and I am now entered
