Liverpool’s Neon Night Run turned the city into a spooky sprint-fest as runners in wild Halloween costumes battled for the title of best dressed, in what’s being dubbed the UK’s healthiest night out.

The event saw dozens of brightly dressed runners, of all ages, take part in a 5k run through the city centre with speakers, whistles and glow sticks.

Founder Stephen Melling described it as a great success.

In what was not your average Saturday night out, runners enjoyed a DJ set, healthy supplements and a HIIT session.
