As part of the growing trend of night trail running, over 200 runners are expected to take part in this new event, set on the incredible woodland trails of Newborough Forest, where the race will pit runners against the fading light, as well as the clock.

The race village in the Newborough Forest will host the start and finish line, and we expect to attract over 500 spectators to cheer the runners out and welcome them back at the end of their adventure. You may have already guessed, head torches are mandatory kit for this race.
