Event summary
Get ready for the ultimate challenge at the Bat Challenge event organised by Big Bear Events on Friday 2nd May to Saturday 3rd May 2025 in Loughborough. This exciting day and night event offers participants the chance to start in daylight and continue running into the darkness, with stunning views along the way. Whether you want to run a lap or two in daylight, take a break, and then tackle the night trails, the choice is yours. This format is perfect for those looking to try night trail running, with support available every 5k. Remember to bring a head torch if you plan on starting a lap after 7pm. Don't miss this opportunity to push your limits and experience the thrill of running under the stars!
Organiser's Description
A tough, but ever so rewarding, day/night out with views for miles! Start in daylight and if you keep going long enough you'll be in complete darkness!
You’ll start in the late spring sun and if you decide to keep going you can get a dusk lap and many in complete darkness. Of course you could always run a lap or 2 in daylight, take a long break, get a “golden hour” lap in and then head out for a another in the dark. You don’t need to keep running or moving for the whole event, much like our day time ones. You do you!
It’s a great format for anyone who wants to try night trail running, you’ll have run the route for up to 3 hours in daylight, so you’ll know it a bit and we’re on hand to look after you every 5k. It worked brilliantly in 2023.
Anyone starting a lap after 7pm will need to carry a head torch. Even if you’re a 20 minute 5k runner - you won’t be with a broken leg and light fades very quickly in the woods. It’s for worst case scenario stuff, not to increase your performance
Although the temperatures are likely to be lower on a May evening our canicross season finishes in March so there will be no canicross entry for this event.
