Why We Like This Product
At YPC, this costume had us laughing from the moment someone walked in wearing it. It’s bold, funny, and gets instant recognition, especially for UK audiences familiar with the “118” look. We appreciated that everything you need is included in one set, right down to the moustache and wristbands. It’s a complete, stress-free costume that delivers on fun.
Alternatives Worth Considering
80s Workout Aerobics Costume – Bright, colourful, and equally retro.
Disco Fever Outfit – A groovy alternative for retro fancy dress.
Classic Tracksuit Costume – Simpler but still sporty and funny.
Tips on How to Use Correctly
Pair with white trainers to complete the marathon runner style.
Secure the moustache with a bit of spirit gum or costume adhesive if reusing.
Style the wig lightly with a comb for a natural look.
Wear a base layer if attending outdoor Halloween events.
Comparisons
Compared to an 80s aerobics costume, this 118 runner set is more comedic.
Compared to a tracksuit outfit, this version is bolder and more instantly recognisable.
Compared to a disco costume, the 118 look focuses more on sporty fun than dancefloor flair.

We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
