Start time for the Pumpkin Marathon will be 9AM (8am Marathon) and The Spooky will start at 4PM (2pm Marathon). Both events will be held on Burroughs Bank in Lightmoor, Telford. Places will be limited to 40 for each race, so get in early! There is a 6 hour cut off for each race, but if you need longer please email us to discuss.
These are multi-lap races and there will be a well-stocked aid station every mile with water, squash, coke, sweets and other treats to keep you going, as well as friendly marshals offering full support. Fancy dress is encouraged for both of these spooky events – get into the spirit and scare your fellow runners!! In the evening there will be plenty of opportunities to scare yourself on the lanes of Lightmoor – head torches are a MUST for the Spooky!!
