Over 1,600 runners ran in the Ty Gobaith and Hope House dark runs, raising over £31,000.
The routes around five castles in the region including Conwy and Penrhyn Castle, were illuminated by runners in Halloween costumes and glow-in-the-dark gear.
The events were started by families who received care at the hospices, with one seven-year-old boy even kicking off one of the races.
Cat Dowdeswell, fundraising team leader at charity, said: “We are once again blown away by the incredible support we have had at our dark runs, raising a massive £31,360 so far, with some sponsorship still coming in.
“It was amazing to see all our runners light up the night and have such a wonderful time, while also raising vital money to support local children with life-threatening conditions and their families.
“Without the support of our very generous community we would not be able to provide the care and support to those who need us the most. Thank you all so much.
“We would also like to thank our generous event sponsors who have helped put these events on and thank you to medal sponsors Capalona, RUK Group, Premier Jules Convenience and Delta Fulfilment.”
