You won’t miss it!

Route conditions

The route is a mix of tarmac, gravel fire road, gravel single track and the usual mud. As the event is taking place in December there could be leaves on the trail making it slippery underfoot in its length as well as possible wintery conditions. Please be prepared for all conditions. Road specific shoes are not recommended for this event.

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 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 professional qualified with adventure leadership at various levels and hold high levels of first aid.

Post-Race

At the finish line you will receive a finishers Medal, and event Beer from Mourne Mountain Brewery. The event beer has been specially made for the event with 26 Extreme Branding. If you’re the designated driver you can take yours can home unopened or enjoy it as a post-race refreshment if you have a lift. There will also be plenty of snacks, tea and coffee available also.
