Date:  28November 2009 - Start Time: 18:00hrs - Venue: Henderson Hall, Talybont on Usk, Powys. The course is app. 20 Miles, max altitude 1600' and will provide an exciting challenge to all runners. Climb is moderate and the route maintains interest throughout. 


Entry Fee: £16/18 UKA/ TRA License Number TBC=09


The course record is 3:06 following a route change in 2008 and the 2007 champion did not defend last year. Expect 2009 to be hotly contested as the word gets out this route is all runnable in any weather! It should be noted that this is a TRAIL race, held at the end of November and as such should be approached with safety in mind. All competitors will be required to demonstrate adequate equipment and there is a 5 hour time limit.


Starting at 1800 from Talybont on Usk, this is the UK's ONLY official Night Trail Race - 1st run in 2007 and set to become a modern classic. The feedback from clubs on this years route is excellent - more proper off road, more 'remote' feel, great variety of terrain! Why not make a social night of it - enjoy the race and enjoy some refreshments in Talybont afterwards. You can even bring a sleeping bag and kip in the Hall if you want to..Online entry at www.runnersworld.co.uk is live!
