Event Details

Part of Ultra Running's Halloween Series, the Petrified Pootle is a virtual race where you can choose the distance you want to run - a 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon or ultra marathon - to claim your finisher's medal. Run your selected distance at a time to suit yourself, anywhere in the world.

Medals

Other available medals in the Halloween series include: ‘The Witches Whisk’, ‘The Scary Scamper’, ‘The Creepy Crawl’, ‘The Ghostly Gallop’, ‘The Spooky Sprint’, and ‘The Zombie Shuffle’. Each of the events has its own webpage – see Ultra Running's race calendar for more details.

Logistics

Once you have completed your run, you will need to provide evidence to the event organiser in one of two ways: join the Ultra Running Strava group or email Ultra Running your run proof, the minimum requirement is a photo of your Garmin or similar device. Once your run is verified, your medal will be posted to you.
