We’re hunting high and low for alarming athletes, frightening fun runners and creepy kids to dress up in their scariest, spooky costumes and race along Dover’s seafront in this years’ Port of Dover Magnificently Macabre ‘Mini Monster Race’ on Friday 28 October.

With fantastic prizes for the most menacing monster fancy dress and for the race winners, it’s a spook-tacular that’s not to be missed.

All monsters competing in the race will receive a morbid medal and a terrifying ‘Trick or Treat’ goody bag. The sinister setting will be the Seafront Kiosk (on Dover Seafront opposite Horrifying Harbour House).

There will be two heats on the day; one for three to seven-year-olds (and their petrifying parents) and another for eight to fourteen-year-olds with availability for only 40 revolting runners in each heat.

Check in will be at 3:30pm with the little monsters’ race at 4:00pm, the second race for the older monsters at 4:30pm.

After the run there will be ghoulish grub and devilish drinks – and some shocking surprises. Finally, at 5:00pm at the Kiosk, the wicked winners will receive their prizes.

All proceeds from the day will go to local charities.
