Pendle Witches 10k & Halloween Fun Run 2026

The Pendle Witches 10k & Halloween Fun Run is a Halloween-themed running event held at the Lancaster & Morecambe AC Clubhouse at Salt Ayre. It offers both a 10 km road race and a one mile fun run, bringing together club runners and families in costume. The 10k is noted by organizers as fast and flat, providing finisher medals and prizes for the top three men and women. The fun run is untimed, with no recorded positions, and its finishers receive witch-themed medals. The 10k course travels through the Lunesdale countryside, featuring riverside sections and views of Lancaster Castle. The fun run fully embraces the Halloween spirit: fancy dress is encouraged, adults can participate, and children aged six and under must be accompanied by an adult. Accompanying adults do not require their own race number but will not receive a medal unless registered. The event shares the day with the Lancaster Half Marathon, contributing to a larger race-day atmosphere than a typical local 10k.
