Halloween 5 & 10 Miles
The Halloween 5 and 10 miles is a community running event organised by Exeter City Community Trust on the morning of 25 October 2026. The race starts at Piazza Terracina by the Exeter Canal Basin and follows a route through the Exe Valley River Park. The course is described as flat and fast and the 10 mile option comprises two laps of the 5 mile route.
The event supports sports participation and wellbeing activities across the local area and raises funds for charity partners such as Exeter Leukaemia Fund, Alright Mate and Children’s Hospice South West. Participants running on charity places are asked to meet a minimum fundraising pledge of £80 to £100 depending on distance. England Athletics members receive a discounted entry for UKA licensed events.
On-course support and facilities include water stations, medical assistance, toilets, a recovery area and a bag store. All finishers receive a medal. Results are shared after the race via Webscorer. Organisers publish course materials including a route map, marshal point information and a certificate of course accuracy. Charity runners who join the Trust team receive a technical running top, a fundraising pack, access to online training materials and post-event hospitality.
