Good for you entering that "nitelight rundark" at Drumpelliier, some of the course, not all of it might be on the same course as Saturday morning's parkrun.

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr

Yes AlMorr a bit of it is run on the parkrun course

I have just looked at the sunset time for the 27th March, the run starts a 7 pm, the sun sets in Glasgow at exactly 14 minutes to 7 so it won't be pitch black for the start, depending on weather it will get dark before you are halfway through the run and certainly, the torches will be a necessity.

And the good thing is head torches are provided

No need to be nervous! If the worst comes to the worst you can either leave early or walk...but that won't happen. You'll smash it ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Sounds a great event, hopefully you'll have fun running it. ๐Ÿค—

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs

This will be my first run without music as I want to be aware what's going on and take on any instructions and concentrate more as it will be dark.

Think what I will do is try a few runs before hand without it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Grannyhugs profile image
GrannyhugsGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

I always run without music, I have hearing impairment so good to be aware what is going on. But running in the dark with others will be something special

It, like you...will be epic!!!
