Event overview

If you like spooky races in spooky places, like fun, like medals and like goodies then this event is for you. 

You'll enjoy a bespoke medal and lots of Halloween goodies at the finish line.

This event will naturally have a Halloween theme, there's no pressure at all to dress up but feel free to do so. The cake table will reflect the theme of the event.

It's Grim Up North

This event is part of the It's Grim Up North calendar of runs, offering a range of distances and levels of difficulty so there is something for everyone.

All runners will receive a bespoke medal, chocolate and beer (or alcohol-free drink). Trophies are awarded to the first male and female runner runner in each distance.

Famous for its low-key approach, all runners will be greeted with a warm smile and friendly chat.

The aim is to get you out running, help you enjoy the beautiful countryside with great camaraderie and for you to experience the sense of well-being you get when you cross that finish line.

You'll be shown that the North is anything but Grim.
