Event overview
The Halloween running event organised by Exeter City Community Trust takes place on 26 October 2025 and offers 5 mile and 10 mile race options. The course starts at Piazza Terracina by the Exeter Canal Basin and follows a route around the Exe Valley River Park. The organisers describe the route as flat and fast; the 10 mile distance is two laps of the 5 mile route. Medals are provided to all finishers.
Logistics and support
Participants must meet the UK Athletics minimum age requirement of 17 on the day of the event. The event provides on-course support such as water stations and medical assistance. Finish-area facilities commonly include toilets, a water station, a recovery area, a medical station, and a bag store. Results are usually shared by email and via Webscorer after the race.
Registration is available either through charity places, which carry a minimum fundraising pledge of £80 to £100 depending on distance, or by booking an individual entry. England Athletics members receive a discounted entry rate for UKA licensed events. The event is organised to support community sports participation and wellbeing programmes run by the trust.
