Mr Sparkle's Dark Un

About this event

Mr Sparkle's Dark Un takes runners into the winter night around Darwen, Lancashire. This February event embraces the challenge of night trail running, where headtorches light the way through the moorland paths and wooded trails surrounding this historic mill town. The course explores the area's network of trails with climbs that reward runners with views across the valley, though in the darkness it's as much about the adventure as the scenery. This is a race for those comfortable with technical terrain and navigation in the dark, offering a different kind of trail running experience where the challenge is as much mental as physical.
