Trick or Trail Night Run

Participants navigate winding singletrack trails across uneven, rocky terrain guided only by headlamps, reflective tape, and chalk arrows. Along the route, runners encounter candy aid stations alongside lurking volunteer ghouls making spooky sounds and staging jump scares. The festivities wrap up with an awards ceremony and a post-run costume parade and contest.
