Irchester Spooktacular

The Irchester Spooktacular is a Halloween-themed night-time running event held at Irchester Country Park. It features two distances: a 5k race and a 2k Family Fun Run, both set on marked woodland trails and tracks. Participants are encouraged to wear fancy dress, with prizes awarded for the best costumes in various categories.

All finishers receive a special event medal and Halloween-themed sweet treats. The course is mostly hard-packed track, suitable for road or trail shoes, and runners are advised to bring a head torch or handheld torch due to the night setting. The event also offers free professional photos and supports local foodbank charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
