The Tarmac Twister Trail is an evening self navigation race from Springfield Cricket Club in Chelmsford. The route covers approximately 6 miles around Chelmer Village, following tarmac and other hard surfaces after dark.
Runners navigate using a written route description issued on the night, with no course markings or marshals to guide the way. Participants can run individually or in groups and set off in staggered time slots rather than a mass start. The route is street lit, although a head or hand torch is required to read the instructions.
Organised by Essex Trail Events under a TRA permit, the event is open to runners aged 16 and over. All finishers receive a bespoke glow in the dark medal and light refreshments, with parking, toilets and a licensed bar available at the race HQ.
