PHOENIX Cambridgeshire Halloween Run

Organiser's Description
Something awakens.
This Halloween marks our first ever evening run.
A course where shadows move, and not everything is what it seems.
Will you face the night?
Only for the brave.
Join us in Riverside Park St Neots on Saturday 31st October between 16:00 and 22:00.
As it will be dark during this event, head torches or chest lights will be compulsory. If you do not bring a light, I'm afraid you will not be able to take part.
This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back course around Regatta Meadow, Riverside Park and the River Great Ouse in St Neots. We welcome all abilities of runner - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 6 hour time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal.
We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1 hour start window, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late.
Not sure how far you wish to run? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.
Start anytime between 16:00 and 17:00 (registration open from 15:30).
Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 6 hours. Footpaths and grass. The overall course has minimal elevation gain / loss making this a relatively flat and fast route.

Course Details
All runners begin with the River Great Ouse on their left hand side and run along the footpath, following the arrows. You’ll run around Regatta Meadow and then go under the underpass by the car park and carry on into Riverside Park. The route is fully signposted, but basically just keep going straight unless an arrow tells you otherwise.
After about 1.55km or 0.96 miles you exit the park. Run up the road for 20 meters and go through a kissing gate on your left hand side. This takes you into a field where you run diagonally through it, following the cut grass path. You’ll go round the pond and through a second kissing gate. You’ll then go through a small wooded area, before coming out and finding the turning point.
At 2.65km, or 1.64 miles you will reach the turning point, which is just before a large bridge to your left. The turn point is well signed with a large yellow sign on the left of the path telling you to ‘turn around’ – please go all the way to the turn point before turning back on each lap.
You then simply turn at the turn point and retrace your steps, exactly. Again, full signposted for your return. Get back to the aid station and that’s it, that is 1 complete lap.
The overall course has no elevation gain or drop making this a flat and fast route. Well, except for the 2 kissing gates either end of the field. Please take care going through the gates.
