Sutton Bank Sizzler

The Sutton Bank Sizzler is a challenging 7-mile night trail race held at the Sutton Bank Visitor Centre near Thirsk, Yorkshire. Featuring a circular course with 344 meters (1,128 feet) of ascent, the race tests runners' endurance and navigation skills in the dark, with the route 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 a unique opportunity to experience trail running under night-time conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
