Petzl Night Runner Delamere Forest

Round 1 of the Petzl Night Runner Series is held at Delamere Forest with the event headquarters at the Delamere Visitors Centre. The event uses marked trails with reflective directional signs and encourages fancy dress under the Spooky Halloween theme. Runners must use a good quality head torch or handheld torch to navigate the route after dark.

The terrain is mainly established trail with some potentially muddy or slippery sections, so trail or fell shoes with an aggressive tread are recommended. Warm clothing and a wind or waterproof jacket are recommended for winter conditions. Dogs may attend as supporters in the start/finish area but are not permitted to take part in the race.
