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.

The event fosters a fun yet demanding atmosphere, offering prizes for top male and female finishers, and emphasizes safety and self-sufficiency on this scenic but tough night run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
