Discover the freedom of trail running at night in the company of experienced runners as we follow the route of the High Force and Bowlees Geotrail. From Low Force, we will run the Pennine Way to High Force.

After experiencing the atmosphere of this magical place, under cover of darkness, we will cross fields back to the visitor centre for tea and cake in front of the fire.

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
