Entry fees are listed as adults £8 pre-entry and £10 on the day; under 17s are free. The race has a long history and is now 59 years old. The 2026 running is scheduled for 31 October 2026 (Halloween) and entries open in 2026.

Halloween costumes are encouraged and prizes are awarded for the best costume. Volunteer marshals receive race credit to use at future races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
