Leigh-on-sea 10k Spooktastic Night Run 2026

The Leigh-on-Sea Spooktastic Night Run is a Halloween-themed, multi-terrain race held after dark. Runners must wear head-torches or body torches to navigate the route. The event offers 10k and 5k distances for adults, while a separate 5k welcomes juniors aged 11 to 15. Organizers emphasize sustainability throughout the race logistics. Participants loop around Two Tree Island, run along Marine Parade, and pass through Old Leigh Town before finishing at the C2C station car park. Spectators watch a carnival of lights and Halloween costumes during the event. Fancy dress is optional, with a bonus prize awarded for the best outfits. Finishers receive a banana, a glass of prosecco, and a 'not medal' prize.
