Sutton Bank Sizzler

The Sutton Bank Sizzler is a challenging 7-mile circular night trail race held at the Sutton Bank Visitor Centre near Thirsk, Yorkshire. Featuring an ascent of 344 meters (1,128 feet), the race tests runners' endurance and navigation skills in the dark, with the course marked by glow sticks and marshals. Participants must carry mandatory kit including a headtorch, waterproof jacket, hat, gloves, survival bag, and foil blanket due to the exposed and potentially harsh September conditions.

Limited to 150 runners, the event offers a 3-hour time limit and awards prizes for the top three male and female finishers. The race emphasizes fun and skill in night trail running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
