Bat Challenge 2026 is a unique day‑to‑night trail running event hosted by Big Bear Events on Friday 8 May 2026 at Beacon Hill Country Park, Leicestershire. Designed to be fully inclusive, the challenge invites runners, hikers, and walkers of all abilities to complete as many 5km off‑road laps as they choose within the six‑hour time limit—whether that’s a single lap or an ultra‑distance adventure.
Starting in the late spring daylight and continuing into dusk and darkness, participants experience stunning hilltop views, a tough but non‑technical course, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere, making it ideal for first‑time night runners and seasoned endurance athletes alike.
Raise over £200 to receive a free LLR Mind running vest or t-shirt!
