Petzl Night Runner Rivington
The event is the final round of the Petzl Night Runner Series with a "close encounters" theme linked to Rivington's local UFO reputation. It is a night trail meeting held at Rivington and Blackrod High School, Rivington Lane, Bolton BL6 7RU. The course is fully marked with reflective signs and participants must run with a head torch or hand held torch to illuminate the route. The terrain is rough, boggy and rocky, so off road running shoes with an aggressive tread are recommended. Because the event takes place in winter, warm clothing and a wind or waterproof jacket are advised.
Distances offered include:
- 10k trail race
- Half Marathon trail race
- Free 1k kids event for children of participating adults
Minimum age for the 10k and Half Marathon is 16 years on the day. Entry fees are listed as £32 for the 10k and £39 for the Half Marathon. Entry includes a custom glow in the dark finisher's medal, free car parking, electronic timing, medical cover, a custom bib number and drinks at the finish. Event photographs are available free to download. Dogs may not take part in the races but are welcome as supporters at the start and finish areas when well behaved.
