About the race

Bat Challenge is a 6-hour day/night trail running event at Beacon Hill Country Park, Leicestershire, England. It features a 3.3-mile off-road loop that participants can repeat to reach 5k, 10k, or over 50k within the time limit. The course climbs from the lower car park to a trig point, then glides back on crushed-stone paths with an uphill first half and downhill second, leaving some mucky sections depending on conditions.

The atmosphere blends daylight, dusk, and night, with head torches needed for late laps. Perks include a medal or a tree token, and a Roald Dahl charity option. It’s sociable and suitable for all abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
