About this event
Blackpool Night Run is a 7.5km fun along Blackpool promenade. This is a traffic-free route which takes you under the famous Blackpool Illuminations, and which gives you the chance to preview the lights two days before the official switch-on!
Participants start and finish outside Blackpool Tower, where they will be cheered on by hundreds of spectators and event volunteers. The route heads north towards the turnaround at Red Bank Road and returns to finish outside of Blackpool Tower.

About Brian House
Brian House is the only children’s hospice on the Fylde coast and helps to care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Our hospice costs £1.9m to run, with only a small amount of that being funded by Government. That’s why events like Night Run are so important. Money raised through sponsorship and donations play an enormous part in covering our costs, and help ensure our services continue to run year on year.
If every runner can donate or raise a minimum of £30.00, we this event could raise an incredible £120,000 for Brian House. This would allow us to not only run our life-changing services, but develop new ones; allowing us to be there for even more families on the Fylde coast.

This event is kindly sponsored by our long-term supporters, The Kentown Wizard Foundation.
