The Halloween Half is back!

ITS BACK with a Bite

We are so happy to announce the return of our Halloween Half! This long awaited event is finally back after 3 years. 

Oldham Halloween Half, the borough’s 13.1 mile course is widely regarded as one of the toughest half marathon events in the country, with its hilly landscape that is incredibly popular among local running clubs, charities, businesses and residents.

The course covers many miles of countryside and highlights some of the best scenery Oldham has to offer. Starting off in Oldham town centre, with a new start and finish location, runners will make the incline up to Saddleworth and its surrounding villages before returning to the centre of Oldham, with runners guaranteed to enjoy fantastic local support from the diverse communities of our borough along the way.

The event is inclusive to all ages, with the Oldham Halloween Half targeted at runners aged 17 and above, with entry fees priced at £28 for running group/club members, and £30 for general runners.

Booking is now closed
