Event overview

Lamplighter Sunset to Sunrise night trail runs. Starting and finishing at Goathland Village Hall you will visit Triangulation Pillars and other checkpoint locations before heading back to Goathland Village Hall. There will be refreshments, water fizzy pop and snacks at two locations on the course. There will also be one indoor CP in between. The courses will have some marker flags around the courses, each entrant will have the routeGPX and a tracker to aid with navigation. The start and finish will be dictated by the Sundown and Sunup times for the day. As it is the shortest night it will be a true run through the night, dusk till dawn. Come and run from sunset to sunrise and add your stories to the Lamplighter Legend... Entrants will register and collect numbers etc an hour before last light, both events will begin when the Lamplighter appears to illuminate the streetlamp situated outside of the village hall, it will be up to you to be ready to go… You will then have either 12 or 6.5 hours to get back Goathland Village hall. All finishers will receive a rather nice Lamplighter medal. Memento to the first female and first male finishers.

This event is part of SilverBackTrails Lamplighter.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
