The Oval, London
Distance
Choose from 25km or 10km
Choose from the following options: 1. Full sponsorship: pay a small registration fee, we will pay for your place and you fundraise a set amount for us. 2. Mixed funding: Pay for half your place cost and fundraise less for us. We will pay half of your place cost. 3. Own place: Pay for your place and fundraise whatever you can for us.
Choose your distance and pace, and join Team Cancer Research UK in the Halloween Walk, and play your part in supporting vital cancer research.
Why not risk a hair-raising hike around some of the City’s scary streets and historic haunts? Choose your distance, gather your bravest guys & ghouls to make up a team, or go it alone if you dare and meet up with other chilling challengers. Dress to distress, and our creepy dungeon keepers at The Oval start & finish will meet, greet & shock. Once you escape there’s ghostly looped routes, with zombie rest stops, and if you manage to get back in one piece there’s a macabre medal, a glass of the Devil’s fizz, some horrific hot food & drink!
