Rivington Night Runner Trail Route
Petzl Night Runner Rivington route winds through the rugged trails surrounding Rivington, taking runners deep into one of Lancashire’s most iconic outdoor landscapes.
The course features a mixture of rocky, cobbled paths, muddy trails and open moorland, making it a true off-road challenge even in daylight. At night, with only the beam of a head torch lighting the way, the route becomes an entirely different adventure.
The 10K route follows a single loop through the trails, while the Half Marathon distance extends the challenge with additional miles and elevation across the surrounding hills.
The course is fully marked with reflective signs that shine in your head torch beam, helping guide runners safely through the darkness while still delivering the thrill of true night trail running.

FAQs
The route is fully marked with reflective signs, but you will need a good quality head torch or hand held torch to light the track ahead so you can safely get round the course. The terrain is varied and often very muddy, so road shoes are not adequate. Ensure that you have good quality trail or fell type shoes, with an aggressive tread. As it’s winter, you’ll need warm clothing and we recommend everyone carries or wears a wind or waterproof jacket. The minimum age for both distances is 16yrs on the day, although there is a free 1k event for young children whose parents are taking part in the main race on the night.
