This event has been and gone!

Harlow Hill has a good path network for night racing with the remapped area of Birk Crag adding intrigue for the longer courses.

Harlow Hill is a mixed area of runnable forest with a good path and ride network. Longer courses will visit Birk Crag which has been remapped for this event offering a more technical challenge with intricate contour details. The event will be held shortly after dusk. Registration will be at the new GirlGuiding Birk Crag Centre offering indoor facilities with toilets and refreshments.
