“The run will be a mixture of trail, footpath and grass as night begins to fall around Halloween,” he said.
"There'll be some great views of Souter Lighthouse and Whitburn Nature Reserve on the run, and it would be great for people to come along in their spookiest outfit.
“We’re encouraging people to come along with their friends and family and get dressed up to have a good night.”
