About the race
The Night Time Ultra is a night-time group training run organised by Trail Run Explorers at National Trust - Devil's Dyke, Devil's Dyke Rd, Brighton BN1 8YJ, UK. The route covers 27 miles (43.5 km) and includes about 982 metres of ascent and 984 metres of descent, over winding trails and rolling countryside.
The event is framed as a tactical test run to practice night running, manage lighting and visibility, and refine gear and pacing under race-like conditions. A trail guide leads the group and the route offers panoramic views. There is a simulated aid station concept; a short pub stop may be included if the pub is open, but that stop is not guaranteed.
Practical requirements are stated clearly: head torches are required, all participants must be 16 or over, and runners should be able to run 20 or more miles in training. The pace is described as chatty with sections of walking and hiking, and there will be no fast sections. Insurance covers the group while running together; leaving the group removes that cover.
The organiser lists the event fee as £30 and presents the run as preparation for longer night events. The entry includes route guidance and group support from other runners preparing for ultra distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
