The walk started at the dungeon, near the Oval Cricket Ground in London and participants had to contend with ghostly looped routes, and zombie rest stops. For those who survived, there was a macabre medal, a glass of the Devil’s fizz, some horrific hot food and drink – and a souvenir bobble hat to ward off the spirits as they headed off home. Participants could fundraise for a range of charity partners, [including Mind](https://www.mind.org.uk/get-involved/donate-or-fundraise/take-on-an-active-challenge/ultra-series-2025/london-halloween-walk-2024/), MND Association, and The National Brain Appeal. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.
