ST HELENS parkrun is hosting its Hallowe'en ‘Run for your Life’ event on Saturday and is looking for some special volunteers.
The day will see some paranormal pacers helping to get personal bests as, one minute after the start of the run, ghosts and ghouls set off to attempt to scare all the runners in front.
The runners’ task is to make it safely back to the bandstand before getting caught by the baddies.
Organisers say that the more pacers that there are, the more people can be helped to a personal best. Anyone who fancies joining the scary ghoul gang is asked to email sthelensoffice@parkrun.com and state how long it would take them to run 5k while wearing fancy dress.
Pacers will need to arrive at the Victoria Park bandstand for 8.30am to get timing signs attached and to supply their own costume.
