Event information
Ground conditions will depend very much on the weather closer to the event. It is predominantly on crushed stone however, with tree detritus the ground can become a bit slippy and mucky, you’ll never be in ankle deep mud though. There are a few sections on more exposed grass paths, trail shoes are advised. The route is fully marked and effectively a 2 lap course. Cannock Chase is hilly!
Parking is £6 for 2 hours and £9 for 3 hours and functions on ANPR. You can pay by card or coin.
We are hopeful we’ll be able to secure an event parking rate at a much reduced rate. This will be confirmed closer to the event.

Won’t it be dark?
We hope so! You need a head or chest to torch to run in this event. No torch no run.
Our friends from Petzl will be with us so you can test out the best head torches around on the night. If you’ve got a cheap headtorch from Amazon, you’ll be able to tell the difference immediately. We’ll have more to announce on this closer to the event
Can I run with my dog?
Yes!!
We’ve held many night time 10k’s with canicross and it’s been great success. We request that your dog be lit up (lights on it’s harness rather than wrapping the dog in Christmas lights!), you keep your leads short and be considerate of the other runners. We’ll start the canicross runners off a couple of minutes before the main field. Please read our general canicross rules here.
We’ll confirm the exact timings for this closer to the event but it is likely the canicross start time will be around 18:50.
How far is the race?
10k! This might seem a bit pointless to mention given the name but this is different to a normal Big Bear Event. You'll get the same love, a medal and some goodies but you can't run all night!

Petzl are the industry leader in high quality head torches. We’re very lucky to be hosting some of their “Night Runner” events. We’ve got 1 at Cannock Chase Forest and 2 at Salcey Forest this winter.
There is a reason the top ultra runners in the world use their head torches, when you need the trail lit up they are simply the best. When trail running at night you want to make sure youyr head torch wont let you down and your Petzl wont.
They’ll be at the event with their demo kit for you to try on before, during or after the event
