About the race
Potarch Night Race is a night hill running event in Potarch, United Kingdom, organised by Deeside Runners. The advertised course is 7 km long with approximately 200 m of ascent and uses the route previously used for several years.
The route includes two climbs, some flat sections, muddy sections, fallen trees, holes and a fence to crawl through twice. The course will be marked with reflective flags.
Runners are required to carry a good headtorch and full body cover, and to carry a map and compass. A spare torch is recommended. Minimum age for entry is 16.
Registration is offered free online; payment is made when collecting the race number. Pre-registration is used to help the organisers and the cafe estimate likely numbers. Registration closes Thursday, February 11, 2027 at 16:00 (GMT+0).
Registration and prize giving will take place at the Potarch cafe, which will serve soup, teas and cakes. Event sponsors include Out & Back Store, Moonlight Mountain Gear and VJ Shoes, who offer equipment trials at the series races and provide prizes for the male and female outright series winners.
Course record times are listed as men's 27:39 (2023) and women's 35:57 (2024). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
