The Sunrise to Sunset Challenge
The Sunrise to Sunset Challenge is an annual running event held at Shrewsbury Sports Village. Entering its 19th year, the event is organised by How Hard Can It Be Events and offers multiple distance options so runners can choose how far to go between sunrise and sunset. The winner is the participant who records the greatest distance covered during that period.
The course follows a purpose-built 1 km cycle track. Lap cards are used and stamped each lap to record distance. Onsite provisions include music and a range of food and drinks. The venue is a leisure centre with facilities such as a cafe and toilets.
Available race options:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
Entry prices are listed from GBP 28.00 to GBP 45.00 depending on the chosen distance. The event format emphasises repeated laps, frequent passes by aid stations and organisers, and a measured course that supports both set-distance entries and continuous ultrarunning within the event timeframe.
