About the event

Friday Night Lights hosts our first mini-fest and chip timed race in partnership with Maverick Race! 1,000 people redefining Bank Holiday Friday social. Pin yourself to the 50km crucifix and run for our sins.


Didn't make it to the sold out London Marathon? Get your fix here at FNL the week before and follow it off with a party! Run the Marathon distance and polish it off with an FNL Finishers Cup & Pint for the ensuring mini-festival. The UK'S healthiest night out returns with a bang, a big one at that.


Run either a 10km, Halfy, Mara, or a 50k Ultra chip-rimed race and follow it up with after party with our FNL Resident DJs to boot it into the night in the heart of Battersea Park.


50km Ultra-Marathon, 20 laps of the iconic (but dull) Battersea Park 2.5km loop for possibly the worst ultra-marathon route you'll ever do. Boring, monotonous, and least scenic,and did we say..? 20x laps...! BUT it's super fast, super flat, fuel station every 2.5km and super local, so perhaps the best Ultra-marathon you'll ever do. Who knows?


No shite finishers T-shirts or naff medals. Cross the finish line grabbing a custom FNL Finishers pint cup and free Finishers Beer (0% also available) for the only time you'll ever stumble into a festival for knees up late into night. Post-race sessions include Yoga, Pilates, Sports Massages, FNL Physios, and SIS Recovery Fuel.


After Party headlined by DJ FARHANNAH (Glastonbury, LoveTrails, Disco Express, FNL Resident), and Howard (Silverstone Fest, FNL Resident) with more TBA!


The most delicious and healthiest food vendors will be onsite as long with the Beer & Gear Bar (that's 'merch gear', not that gear) serving up unreal food and snacks, and pouring drinks both Alcohol and 0%/AF options.


Every race will be chipped by Maverick Race, the industry leaders and hosts of the countries best trail running series! You can find FNL throughout the year at most Maverick Night Races! Maverick are the UK’s largest trail running events organiser dedicated to celebrating the beauty of the British countryside.
