Family Halloween fun run around East Park at sunset, with a Halloween event village, in costume, to support Hull and East Yorkshire Mind.
Ghoul & Glow is Hull and East Yorkshire Mind's brand-new Halloween fun run, taking place at East Park on Friday 30 October. It's their first one, and they've billed it as the first of its kind, aimed at the whole family. The idea is simple: you walk, jog or run around the park as the sun sets, with ghosts, ghouls and a Halloween atmosphere all around you. They're encouraging everyone to turn up in costume, so it's a good excuse to get the fancy dress out.
It's a fun run rather than a race, so you can go at whatever pace suits you, whether that's a proper jog or a slow stroll with the kids. The route stays within East Park, and the timing is part of the draw — starting in the late afternoon means you'll be out there as the light fades and the Halloween theme kicks in.
Behind it is Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, a registered charity (number 1101976) based at Wellington House, 108 Beverley Road. Every ticket sold and every donation made goes towards the mental health support they provide to people across Hull and East Yorkshire, so it's one of those events where the entry fee does something useful.

On the day, the event village opens at 2.30pm, giving you plenty of time to get sorted and soak up the atmosphere before the fun run itself starts at 4.00pm. That's the one to keep in mind if you're planning your afternoon.
