Course, rules and logistics
The route is a clockwise loop through countryside terrain, including forest, farm tracks and downlands, with many hills. The event is self-navigated using a Strava GPX file on a phone or watch; a written narrative will be available and a tail runner will sweep the course. The event is timed and race numbers are issued. Participants receive a Halloween themed finisher medal and may exchange their race number behind the pub bar for a drink.
Fancy dress is required for full credit: judges select the best fancy-dressed runner to receive a post-run meal prize, and runners who do not wear Halloween fancy dress incur a five minute time penalty. Required equipment includes a head torch, mobile phone with ICE details and ideally trail running shoes. The event is for adults aged 18 and over. Parking at the venue is limited. In the event of snow or ice, the event may be postponed by a year. Non-affiliated England Athletics or Trail Runners Association entrants pay an additional £2 levy.
