Invited to dress up for the evening’s run, the members had the choice of two specially created routes that formed special “Strava Art” when the route is looked at post-run.

Three groups joined together to run a 10k route that saw them exercising (rather than “exorcising”) the Queensbury ghost – a course first run in 2017 - while another three groups ran a bat-shaped 6k course.

The evening was perfect for a spooky Halloween run as mist descended on Queensbury and gave an eerie look to the courses as the dressed-up runners lit up the dark streets.
