Has antone done any events that take place at night or during the evening twilight hours?

What do you think about the possibility of such race?

There's also the moonlight challenge this month (can't remember the date), it's 5/6 laps in Kent country side you can't do as much as you want and get a certificate, once you've gone pass 20 you get a medal. There hot food and drinks available after each lap as it ruddy cold.

There is a thread on here somewhere.

Is an excellent race which I intend doing next year, can't this as will be away.

Tromso midnight marathon in Northern Sweden - but it's in summer so it's still light, or maybe a bit crepuscular.....

lovely word crepuscular

Quite a few ultras and some ldwa events have a 24 hour + cut off. Also there was a new Halloween run this year in Reading that started quite late (8 or 9p.m.?).

great fun cover all reflective parts of footwear and clothing and keep the use of the headtorch to a minimum otherwise you will have half the field following you (whether you are going the right way or not
