Night Time Ultra 27 Miles
This is a night time group training run organised by Trail Run Explorers at National Trust - Devil's Dyke, Devil's Dyke Rd, Brighton BN1 8YJ, UK. The route covers 27 miles (43.5 km) with approximately 982 meters of ascent and 984 meters of descent across winding trails, rolling countryside and elevation-rich sections.
The event is presented as a tactical test run to prepare participants for events that run through the night, for example the UK Ultra 100. It aims to provide realistic night running conditions to refine gear, pacing and mindset. A trail guide accompanies the group and the route is described as offering panoramic views.
Practical notes from the organiser: head torches are mandatory and participants without a torch will not run. There may be a simulated aid station and a possible short stop at a pub for a drink and snack, but this is not guaranteed. Insurance covers runners while they remain with the group; leaving the group removes this cover.
Entry details list an entry fee of £30. Participants must be 16 or over and should have a good level of fitness, able to run 20 or more miles in training. The run is conducted at a chatty group pace with walking sections; there are no fast sections and participants who cannot keep up may need to return to the start on their own.
