Lamplighter 20 Mile Night Trail Run

The event is a dusk till dawn trail run of circa 20 miles on a circular route across the North York Moors National Park. The route passes through forests and open moorland and is routed to start and finish at Goathland village hall.

Entrants register and collect numbers one hour before last light. The run begins when the lamplighter lights the lamp outside the village hall gate, so the start and finish are dictated by the setting and rising of the sun for the event date. The course runs through the night and returns to the village hall at the end.

Lamplighter 20 runs alongside a longer event, Lamplighter 40. The location is Goathland, with the village and its hall used as the event base and the visible village lamp used to mark the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
