About the Event

On November 1, 2026, at 6 PM, Leigh-on-Sea invites runners to experience an enchanting evening of multi-terrain running through the charming coastal town. The event features both a 5k and a newly expanded 10km course that highlights the scenic beauty and unique atmosphere of Leigh-on-Sea.
This year's race promises not only competitive racing but also a festive Halloween theme, transforming the night into an immersive experience with decorations and a spooky ambiance. Participants will be greeted by marshals stationed throughout the route to ensure safety as they navigate through dark trails and winding paths under the glow of headtorches or body torches.
For younger runners aged 11-15 years old, there is also a dedicated junior race that encourages family participation with adult supervision required for all participants in this age group. The event promotes sustainability by offering uniquely themed medals made from eco-friendly materials to every finisher, along with the traditional glass of prosecco upon completion.
The route itself weaves through varied terrain including streets and trails within Leigh-on-Sea, providing a challenging yet enjoyable course that showcases both natural beauty and urban charm. Runners can expect accurate chip timing throughout, ensuring precise results available for instant printout post-race alongside personalized certificates celebrating their achievement.
In addition to the thrilling race experience, there will be special prizes awarded for those who embrace the Halloween spirit with creative costumes. The event continues its commitment to supporting local and national charities focused on Essex-based care initiatives, reflecting a community-driven ethos that benefits both participants and beneficiaries alike.
Join us in Leigh-on-Sea this November for an unforgettable evening of fun, fitness, and philanthropy.
