Race in-person
Saturday October 29, 2022
We invite you to take part in Calgary's only Halloween night race, where the aid stations serve candy and there are prizes for being dead last. Join us and come dressed up in your creative costumes. Don't forget the costume for your pooch, because the dog with the best costume will be featured on the medals and shirts for next year!
Race virtually
October 28-31, 2022
Your virtual run or walk can be completed anywhere, on any surface (trail, road, treadmill, track), and anytime during the race period.
We encourage virtual racers to track their run using RunKeeper, where your results will automatically sync with your Race Roster account and right onto the Results Leaderboard. Alternatively, you can choose to screen capture (not mandatory) any fitness app or watch (Garmin, Fitbit etc.) and manually upload your time. All registered participants will receive detailed instructions for completing their virtual race prior to the start of the race period.
For all racers
Whether you're participating virtually or in-person, all costumes, both human and pets, will be eligible for awards! The best dog costume will win a prize package and, most importantly, they will be featured on the 2023 medal and shirt! If you're participating virtually, don't forget to tag @RunCalgary in your social media posts!
