Run if you dare.
Lace up for the spookiest 5K of the year, where FortWhyte's trails transform after dark into a haunted playground of creepy surprises, eerie shadows, and things that go bump in the night. Navigate the darkness, dodge the spooks, and sprint to a finish line worthy of celebration, complete with snacks, candy, and a well-earned post-race beer.
Costumes aren't required, but we won't judge if you show up as a ghost, ghoul, or something far more terrifying. (Bonus points for creativity.)
Every registered runner receives a limited-edition sweatshirt, a custom race bib, a finishers' medal, and a post-race treat, plus a free beer or beverage to toast surviving the trails.
Package pick-up happens at Big Sky Run Co., 194 Tache Ave.
- Tuesday, October 27 · 4–7pm
- Wednesday, October 28 · 4–7pm
Please note: due to capacity limits, only registered participants can join us on event night. All participants must be 18+, and because of the number of runners on the trails, we're unable to accommodate pets.
Please consider making a donation to FortWhyte Alive with your registration. Funds raised will support critical environmental education programming and help to maintain the trails at FortWhyte Alive so they can be enjoyed 364 days a year!
