Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, the event features a 1 km Kids Race, a 5 km walk/run, and a 10 km run, catering to all ages and abilities. Participants are encouraged to wear creative costumes, including their pets, with awards for best costumes and a special prize for the best dog costume, which will be featured on the following year's medal and shirt.
The event includes a pre-race Halloween Festival with free face painting, games, crafts, and photo opportunities, creating a lively and fun atmosphere.
