It therefore seems fitting for the final event of the series to be a 'close encounters'theme. Whilst this may seem a little ‘alien’ to a few of you (see what we did there?) the format is simple. The 10K course is marked with reflective signs and you run with a head torch to light the paths ahead of you. You’ll need off road running shoes as the terrain at Rivington is rough, boggy and rocky, which is difficult even in the daylight!
