Halloween Hobble
The Halloween Hobble is a track running event held at Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre in Ware, Hertfordshire. It takes place on a traffic-free 400m athletics track with chip timing and an ARC licence. Laps are counted to determine distance, so runners are measured by laps times 400m.
Distances and formats available include:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half marathon
- Full marathon
- Ultra or 50 miles
- 6 hour event
- 12 hour challenge
An aid station is available each lap and supporters can see participants on every circuit. The event provides free parking, toilets, showers, and changing facilities close to the track. Tea, coffee, and cake are provided free for runners, and race photos are taken. Music will play during the event.
As daylight fades, track lights will be turned off, and participants are required to wear a head torch. Runners should arrive about 30 minutes before their start to collect race numbers and hear the race briefing; the venue does not open before 8 am. Overtaking is on the right, and walkers are asked to use the outer lanes so all participants can share the track safely. A bespoke medal is available when selected.
