On 24 October 2026, the streets of Clark will take on a Halloween-inspired twist as hospitality professionals, runners, families, corporate partners, and members of the community gather for Ghoul Run – A Night Fun Run 2026.

Starting at 5 PM, the event aims to bring together more than 1,000 participants for an evening packed with running, entertainment, giveaways, and community spirit.

But there is a bigger reason to lace up.

Run for a Cause in Clark

Organized by Les Clefs d’Or Philippines, the Philippine chapter of the prestigious international association of professional hotel concierges, Ghoul Run turns fitness and fellowship into an opportunity to support communities across the country.

Proceeds will go toward the organization’s Corporate Social Responsibility programs, supporting initiatives in education, environmental conservation, medical missions, indigenous communities, youth development, and other community-based projects.

“Hospitality is ultimately about caring for people,” said Mayumi Hayakawa-Marcelo, President of Les Clefs d’Or Philippines.

Through Ghoul Run, she said the organization hopes to bring together people and groups who want to make a positive impact while building connections through wellness, friendship, and community.

From Hotel Concierges to Community Champions

Les Clefs d’Or Philippines has spent more than three decades promoting service excellence in the country’s hospitality industry. Its work also extends beyond hotels and resorts through charitable and community programs.

Its initiatives have included scholarships and educational support, medical missions, environmental projects, and outreach programs for indigenous communities.

Among its projects are college scholarships in Malay, Aklan, educational supplies and school improvements at Yapak Elementary School in Boracay, mangrove planting activities, and medical assistance for underserved communities.

The organization has also supported Ayta communities in Pampanga through youth development, environmental programs, and community-building activities.

For Chicho Martinez, Vice President of Les Clefs d’Or Philippines, Ghoul Run reflects the group’s belief that hospitality professionals can help create meaningful change.

The event gives the hospitality and business communities an opportunity to come together for a shared cause while promoting health and wellness.

Expect a Spooky Night Out

You don’t have to be a serious runner to join the fun.

Ghoul Run will feature themed race categories, entertainment, sponsor activations, giveaways, raffle prizes, and family-friendly activities.

That makes the event a potential night out for runners, families, hospitality professionals, corporate teams, and anyone looking for something different to do in Clark this October.

With the event taking place at night, participants can expect Clark’s streets to take on a festive Halloween-season atmosphere as the run brings together fitness, entertainment, and charity.

Another Reason to Head to Clark

Beyond raising funds for CSR programs, Ghoul Run also puts the spotlight on Clark as a destination for sports tourism, hospitality events, and community activities.

The event is expected to draw participants from across the Philippines, giving visitors another reason to spend time in the area while supporting a cause.

For Clark’s tourism and hospitality sector, events like this also create opportunities to bring together hotels, businesses, government agencies, civic groups, and local communities.

Les Clefs d’Or Philippines is currently inviting corporations, hospitality brands, government agencies, civic organizations, and community leaders to participate as sponsors and partners.
