• An eight-mile night race in Grizzly territory.
• Mainly off-road with hills, mud and beach (but no bog).

Some comments after 2010's race

• I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you and well done to your club and its members for the night race on Saturday - it was fantastic! The course was brilliant and it was superbly organised.
• Who wants to be cosied up at home watching the boring old TV when you can be out blindly, (well nearly!), running across cliff tops, through muddy woods, crossing a ford and running along a beach then one hell of a climb after!! Fantastic fun, so we would all like to thank the Organisers and all the Marshalls who did a fabulous job of keeping us on the right track and braving the cold, they could probably only see bobbing torches, flourescent stripes and yellow jackets running by!
• We would like to say what a great night of running it was and the marshalling was excellent .
