The November Nightmare

The November Nightmare is an eight-day running event held from Sunday 1st November until Sunday 8th November in Telford, Shropshire. Each day is run as a separate race; participants may enter a single day, several days, or all eight days. Each race day awards a medal.

Runners choose one distance to run on any day and may vary distances across days. The event route passes through Ironbridge, a World Heritage Site. The event headquarters for the week is The Unicorn Inn, Holly Road, Little Dawley, Telford TF4 3HZ.

Distances offered:

  • 8 miles
  • 16 miles (metric half marathon as described)
  • Full marathon (26.2 miles)

The organiser notes two additional races take place the day before the eight-day event: the Pumpkin Marathon and the Spooky Halloween Challenge, which can be combined with the main event. There are numerous bed and breakfasts in and around the area for those planning to stay locally. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
