Mr Sparkle's Dark 'Un
This is a headtorch fell race. It starts from the Royal Hotel in Tockholes, Darwen.
The race covers a distance of 8.1 km with 214 m of climb. It takes place on a Friday in late February.
Participants can expect climbs, open moorland, and mud. The course will be marshalled and marked, but runners should be competent navigators. There is a kit check; full body cover must be carried and a headtorch must be used. The minimum age to enter is 18 years.
The entry fee is £6.50. Online entry is via SiEntries, with a waiting list. Entries close in mid-February. A donation from the funds raised will be made to Bolton Mountain Rescue and the Red Cross.
Parking is available next to the pub, and car sharing is encouraged. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
