About the Event

On October 31, 2026, runners are invited to celebrate Halloween with two exciting races in Lancaster and Morecambe. The festivities kick off at the Lancaster & Morecambe Athletic Club clubhouse (LA1 5JS) where participants can join either the Halloween Fun Run or the Pendle Witches 10k.
The Halloween Fun Run starts promptly at 11:05 am, offering a fun-filled course that winds through charming streets and parks. Participants are encouraged to dress up as their favorite witch or ghoul for this spirited event. The run is designed to be accessible to runners of all skill levels and promises an engaging atmosphere filled with festive decorations and enthusiastic supporters.
For those seeking a more challenging experience, the Pendle Witches 10k begins at 11:00 am on the same day. This race takes runners through scenic routes that showcase some of Lancaster’s historic landmarks while also offering glimpses into its natural beauty. The course is well-marked and supported throughout with water stations to keep participants hydrated.
Both events conclude with a celebration where all finishers receive medals, including an exclusive witch-themed medal for the Halloween Fun Run participants. These tokens serve as lasting mementos of this unique annual tradition.
It’s important to note that there are no refunds, swaps, or deferrals available for these races due to their special nature and limited capacity. Participants should plan accordingly and ensure they can attend on race day.
Participants are encouraged to embrace the spirit of Halloween through costumes and camaraderie while enjoying a memorable running experience in Lancaster and Morecambe.
