Fancy a little Halloween adventure?

We’re heading out for a 7 mile spooky evening run to Hemploe Woods, making our way through the woods and back across the open fields.

Costumes encouraged

This isn’t about smashing out miles or racing anyone. It’s a gentle, social trail adventure with good people, spooky vibes and hopefully a ridiculous number of pumpkins, ghosts and witches etc. running through the countryside.

Bring a headtorch and wear something you can actually run in - although I fully support questionable costume choices.

7 trail miles

Trail shoes recommended for grip

Headtorch essential

Spooky tunes along the way

Trick or treat stop

Tail runner so no one gets left behind

Chatty, gentle pace - typically around 11–12 min miles

What to Expect:

Not a race, but a guided trail experience with plenty of support along the way!

Try out new products from our sponsors—with exclusive discount codes.

Goodies at the finish with aftercare advice.

A chance to debrief post-run, reflect on what worked (and what didn’t), and share tips for next time—hello, bigger shoes?

Photos from the day will be shared in our private WhatsApp group.

Meet other runners—many are returning regulars who love the vibe and community feel.

What to Bring:

Snacks for the trail

A waterproof jacket (just in case the weather surprises us)

Water bottles to stay hydrated

Want to Connect Beforehand?

We’ve set up a WhatsApp group for anyone who wants to chat before the event, get to know each other, or ask any questions.

It’s a great way to start building those connections early! The link will be sent to you once you’ve booked your spot.
