On 25 October 2025, the Scare Bear Run takes place starting at The Last Hop, Thames Edge, Staines — participants get 7 hours to run or walk as many laps as they wish on a loop (~7 km full lap, with 3 km and 5 km turn points for shorter distances). Completion of just one lap (≥ 3 km) qualifies for a finisher medal, and distance pins are awarded for half marathon, marathon, 50 km, ultra, etc. The course runs along the River Thames on signed paths and includes mostly tarmac with a short grass section; road shoes are suitable. The event is open to runners and walkers of all abilities, with on-course aid, goody bags, vegan options, and a festive, Halloween-themed atmosphere themed around “Scary/Bear” motifs.
