The Duergar Nightcrawler

Rothbury, United Kingdom • 7 Feb 2026

The Duergar Nightcrawler is a 10-mile winter night trail run around the Simonside Hills near Rothbury in Northumberland, England. Hosted by Cold Brew Events Ltd, the event takes place at Newcastle House, Front Street, Rothbury. Runners experience torch-lit trails as darkness falls, with the theme drawing on local Duergar folklore about mischievous dwarfs.

The atmosphere emphasizes fun, socialising and outdoor exploration rather than pure speed. Participants must bring a torch or head torch, and all entrants receive an event buff. The course challenges both first-time and experienced trail runners, with a minimum age of 18. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
