The Duergar Nightcrawler

The Duergar Nightcrawler is a 10-mile winter night trail run held in the scenic Simonside Hills near Rothbury, Northumberland. This unique event challenges runners to navigate the rugged terrain after dark, all while "dodging" mythical Duergar creatures said to mislead travelers. Suitable for both first-time and experienced trail runners, the race emphasizes fun, social interaction, and outdoor exploration.

Participants are advised to bring a torch, preferably a head torch, to safely traverse the course. All entrants receive an event buff as a keepsake. The run is organized by Cold Brew Events Ltd and takes place at Newcastle House on Front Street, Rothbury. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
