About Event

Located slap bang in the centre of Northern Ireland, the Peatlands park offers an ideal venue for night running with its network of way waymarked trails crossing woodland and bog in this truly unique
park.

The course will be clearly marked on the evening of the event and provided you carry the mandatory torch you won't have any trouble following it. Do to the sensitive nature of the trails and terrain the event will be limited to the tarmac and gravel trail network and will not go onto the boardwalk. The route will be provided to all participants entered i the event in the days leading to the event in the final information.

Parking and Pack Collection

Parking will be in the main car park and will be clearly signposted on your arrival to the Peatlands Park. Once parked pack collection will be at the start/finish gantry at the entrance to the car park. You won’t miss it!

Route conditions

While the course is all on tarmac it can still become slippery underfoot, especially during the winter months.

Way marking

We take way marking seriously, especially at night. The course will be marked with the usual arrows and flags with the addition of fluorescent poles with strobe lights at key locations.

Safety on the Course

The course has been specifically designed with a view to night running and finding your way around it in restricted visibility. The loop format allowed the race to operate in a more confined space with less opportunity to take a wrong turn. Our adventure events team will be located at Key locations in the course to monitor the progress of the race and help at any stage if required. Our crew are all professionally qualified with adventure leadership at various levels and hold high levels of first aid.
