Running Events Devon - Spooky Challenge 2026 Day 1
About the Event
Join us for an unforgettable running experience at Running Events Devon's Spooky Challenge Day 1 on Saturday, October 31st, 2026. Embrace the spirit of our 'TUGG' (Turn Up Get Going) system by arriving anytime between 7:30 AM and 2:30 PM—just make sure to finish your final lap before 3:30 PM. Our scenic route along an old disused train line offers a picturesque backdrop for runners and walkers of all abilities. Each loop is precisely 5.3 kilometers out and back, allowing participants the flexibility to complete as many laps as they wish within our designated timeframe. Whether you're looking to leisurely stroll or push your limits with multiple circuits, every finisher will be celebrated as a winner. Upon crossing the line, regardless of how far you've traveled, you'll receive an official event medal to commemorate your achievement. Keep in mind that spots are limited, so don't delay—register early to secure yours. For those seeking accommodation nearby, we highly recommend The Fox & Hounds Hotel. This charming establishment offers a variety of lodging options including rooms and bunkhouse-style accommodations as well as camping facilities. Don’t miss out on their renowned cuisine; be sure to visit their website at foxandhoundshotel.com for more details. Come join us this Halloween weekend for an event that promises scenic views, friendly competition, and the chance to enjoy a unique running experience in one of Devon's hidden gems.
