Course Details

Ground conditions will depend very much on the weather closer to the event. It is fundamentally on crushed stone however with tree detritus the ground can become a bit slippy and mucky. The route is fully marked and essentially a 2 lap course. Salcey Forest is fundamentally flat - but any sort of uphill on a 10k feels like a mountain!

How to Get There

It is 18 minutes from Northampton and 9 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. The closest train station is Northampton

Parking

You do have to pay to park (£2 for the evening at the time of writing)

Location

Salcey Forest, NN7 2HX

who are petzl?

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.

canicross

We had canicross at our series last year and it was a 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.
