About the race
The Sunrise to Sunset Challenge, run by How Hard Can It Be Events, is held at Shrewsbury Sports Village on the Shrewsbury Cycle Track. Enter its 17th year and choose from 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, or all-day Ultrarunning. Runners aim to cover as much distance as possible between sunrise and sunset, with a lap card stamped every 1 km and the longest distance declared the winner.
The course is a fast, purpose-built 1 km loop, with the Lightmoor hill flattened to aid pace. Expect music, food, and drinks throughout a lively end‑of‑year atmosphere. Next race is December 27, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
