ARCHIVED RACE: The Mighty Deerstalker 5K @ Innerleithen, Peebleshire, UK, 17th March 2012

After the sell-out success of 2011’s event, our attentions have already turned to 2012, for another turbo-charged roller-coaster of a run…. in tweed.

For 2012, the best becomes even better. As the flagship event in the Notorious Night Run series, the course will feature all the thrills, spills and hills you’ve come to expect, with regular wettings and obstacles like “The Rack”, “The Scree” and “The Tunnel” to push you to the edge. But, with a cap on entry numbers, we’re more confident than ever that you’ll stagger back, grinning like crazy folk.

Fancy dress is part of the fun, with tweed and tartan at the top of the what-to-wear list. When the gun goes off, a rampage of wool-wearing runners will storm along the tree lined avenues of Scotland’s oldest inhabited house, and towards the many challenges that await them.

Whether you sign up to the daylight 5k (and the rest) or the torchlit 10k (and then some), you’ll pit yourself against the landscape of the breathtaking Tweed Valley: followed by our Notorious after-party, with legendary live music and local hospitality, and a comfortable conclusion as you drift soundly away in our onsite camping area.

For the 10k, don’t forget your head torch: we guarantee you’ll need it.
