But it’s not just the scenery that makes this event special. The camaraderie among participants is what really sets the Trick or Trail apart. You’ll feel the community spirit as you run alongside families, friends, and fellow Halloween enthusiasts, all united by a love for fun and fitness. Plus, the race is super inclusive—it doesn’t matter if you’re a fast-paced goblin or a leisurely zombie. Everyone is welcome, and every finish is a meaningful one.
