Organiser's description

After the success of our inaugural evening Halloween Run in 2026, we are delighted to bring it back for 2027. This time there will be more decorations, more spokky suprises, more fun. We've moved location to Thorpe Meadows for this year.

Join us in Thorpe Meadows, Peterborough on Sunday 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 loop course around Thorpe Meadows. 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.
