Get ready for a magical evening at the stunning Penrhyn Castle as we light up the night for a truly special cause. 

The Dark Run is a family-friendly event in support of Hope House Children’s Hospices, offering a fun and unique 3K route (or 1.5K for little legs) through the beautiful castle grounds – all after dark!

 October 17th 2026, 6pm

Our warm up will begin at 6.10pm and at 6.30pm sharp we will start the run!

Every participant will receive a bespoke glow-in-the-dark medal and a goody bag to remember the night. Dress up in your brightest, most glowing outfits (optional, but encouraged!) and help us bring light and hope to local families who need it most.

We kindly ask each runner to raise as much as they can – every penny goes towards supporting the vital work of Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith.

Important info:
  • Registration is £15 per adult and £10 per child (under 16 years). Every child entrant must be accompanied by a participating, paying adult. Up to three accompanying children per adult entry.
  • Under 3's are free, but this does not include a goody bag or medal.
  • No dogs allowed.
  • Gates close at 6pm sharp, so please arrive early for registration at 5.30pm.
  • Bring your own head torch or flashlight – it gets dark out there!
  • Refreshments available on site.
  • Let’s make it a night to remember – sign up today and help us make a difference!

  • By registering for this event you are agreeing to the following statement: I am taking part in this event at my own risk and the promoters, or any person involved in the organisation of the event will not be responsible for any illness or injury caused by my participation. I grant Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices the right to use photographs/videos of me during the event for use as they see fit.
