Runs can be of any distance as you take on our Halloween running challenge this October. Just make sure you do at least 12 runs (or walks) by the end of the month to smash this challenge. You’ll receive your very own spooktacular medal as a lasting memento of all the miles you’ve covered. Arriving in November, you can wear it with pride for your friends and family to see. Don’t be a lazy bones, reach your Ghouls this October!
(*Additional booking fee of £3.50 for overseas participants to cover the cost of shipping).

60 miles – Wicked Effort
100 miles – Fang-tastic Achievement
From 1st October, you can log your runs with our online tracker, or use your own tracking app or device to record your activity if you prefer. Once you’ve completed all your runs and reached your target distance, submit your results and we’ll have your digital finisher’s certificate ready.
