Run Calgary invites you to be a part of Calgary's only Halloween Night Race. This is a family-friendly and pet-friendly event and a beloved Halloween tradition for families! With a 1 km kids' race, 5 km walk/run, and 10 km run, there's something for everyone!
Saturday October 28, 2023
We've put together a full evening of Halloween festivities that are sure to entertain all the goblins and ghouls in your life. We're inviting all participants to join us before the races to explore our Halloween fun fest! Satisfy your sweet tooth with some trick-or-treating or enjoy free face painting. Then, get into character for the Halloween photo booth and spook-tacular family dance party!
Join us and come dressed up in your creative costumes, and don't forget the costume for your pooch! All costumes, both human and pets, will be eligible for awards! The best dog costume will also win a prize package and, most importantly, they will be featured on the 2024 medal and shirt!
Register early to guarantee your shirt size. This event sells out, and shirts are ordered well in advance of race day.
** Dogs and Strollers are Encouraged to Take Part **
