This fantastic 2.5k spooky fun run takes you through historic Bute Park in the heart of Cardiff city centre. Your run will take you past the Gorsedd Stone Circle, up past Blackfriars Friary, along the path next to the river Taff towards the orchard lawn.
We’ve lit up parts of the grounds for this event, plus you can expect music and entertainment.

Run, walk or jog, the choice is yours. Fancy dress is optional but strongly encouraged – think bright neon colours and Halloween dress up! – and we’ll be giving a prize for the best costume.
