About this race
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.
