About this race
A tactical test run, ideal for events like the UK Ultra 100. The Night Time Ultra is an endurance challenge and a perfect preparation run for events that take place overnight. Covering 27 miles (43.5 km) with approximately 1,000 meters of elevation gain, this night-time group run provides a realistic environment to refine gear, pacing, and mindset. The course includes winding trails, rolling countryside, and hilly segments, all completed in the dark. This event focuses on preparing participants for the demands of night running by simulating race fatigue, managing lighting and visibility, and fine-tuning gear strategy. Participants will run alongside others preparing for 100-mile races, offering opportunities for shared tips, morale boosting, and confidence building. The route features 982 meters of elevation gain and 984 meters of descent, providing a challenging training experience. The distance of 27 miles (43.5 km) is significant enough for training purposes while allowing for a relatively quick recovery.
