Night Time Ultra (Ultra Training Run) 27 Miles

About Night Time Ultra (Ultra Training Run) 27 Miles

Night Time Ultra takes runners across 27 miles of Brighton's trail network, starting from National Trust land at Devil's Dyke. The route encompasses rolling countryside with roughly 982 metres of ascent and descent, navigated entirely in darkness as participants practise the skills required for night racing: managing torch light, testing kit, and running through fatigue in low-visibility conditions.

Organised by Trail Run Explorers as a group training run, the event pairs runners with a trail guide and sets a generally chatty pace that incorporates walking and hiking sections alongside running, particularly over the trickier climbs. A head torch is essential—the event cannot proceed without one. Participants should have completed at least 20 miles in training and be prepared for a demanding night on uneven terrain; a simulated aid station may offer a brief stop, depending on whether a pub along the route is open.
