Celebrate Halloween in Style at Our Annual Trick or Trot Run! Dive into a unique blend of fitness and festive fun this October during our annual Trick or Trot run. Whether you're looking to conquer the 5K, challenge yourself with the 10K, or aim for the half-marathon distance, there's an option for every runner and walker. This event is designed as a smaller-scale, private group experience where each wave has limited spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. Waves fill up quickly, so it’s best to register early to secure your place in either Wave A at 7:30 AM, Wave B at 8:00 AM, or Wave C at 8:30 AM. Participants of all ages and paces are welcome. Enjoy the thrill of running through a festive atmosphere without worrying about timing chips—track your performance using an app if you like, but there's no pressure to do so. Our coordinators will be on hand to support runners throughout their journey in this stress-free environment. Upon registration, participants receive a digital training pack and are invited to join our local run clubs for continued fitness motivation beyond the race day. You'll also get a running shirt shipped directly to your US address (make sure you provide an accurate mailing address), along with other swag items such as a finisher's medal and towel. Race details, including course maps, will be sent out via email one week before the event. Virtual run options are available for those who prefer flexibility in their schedule or location—simply complete your race on any day that suits you best! Join us to experience an unforgettable Halloween-themed running adventure with a touch of community spirit and plenty of spooky fun along the way.

Don't miss your chance to be part of this exciting event! Be a Part of Something Special: Our Charity Initiatives Every mile you log after the race, we'll donate $1 towards one of our supported charities (fundraising is optional). Join us in making a difference and running for a cause that matters.
