The Richmond Olympic Park Run will celebrate its 7th birthday and Halloween with a free 5K event on Saturday, Oct. 28.

The Richmond Olympic Parkrun is celebrating its seventh anniversary this weekend with a Halloween theme.

The weekly 5-kilometre event - where participants can run, jog or even walk - will have a spooky twist on Oct. 28.

While costumes are optional, people are encouraged to dress up for the event in light of Halloween which is just around the corner.

The weekly, timed event along the Middle Arm Dyke Trail in Richmond kicks off at 9 a.m.

The run is organized by volunteers and can be as serious as timing yourself against the parkrun clock, a brisk jog, strolling with your pet or walking at your own pace.

There will be volunteers walking at the back to make sure no one is left behind.

Arrive at 8:45 a.m. for a briefing and warm up and be ready for the 9 a.m. start.
