Halloween Haunting
The event takes place on Sunday October 25, 2026 at Springbank Park, Stone Cottage off Commissioners Road. It offers multiple distance options for families and encourages runners to wear costumes. Costume prizes are awarded at the awards ceremony to runners who wear their costumes during the race.
All courses are contained within Springbank Park and follow the paved pathway system along the river. Courses are well marked and marshalled. The 5k loop is measured and certified; the 10k is two laps of the 5k loop. The 2.3k follows the complete west loop and does not go through the Dam Hill parking lot. The Kiddy Trot is approximately 250 m and includes a mild uphill stretch, finishing at the same line used by the 5k and 10k.
Distances:
- Kiddy Trot approximately 250 m.
- 2.3 km complete west loop.
- 5 km certified loop.
- 10 km two laps of the 5 km course.
Pledges collected at the event benefit the London Track 3 Ski School, a volunteer-run non-profit that provides downhill ski programs for people with developmental, physical, visual, and hearing challenges. Pledge incentives and draw prizes are part of the event. A souvenir toque is given to the first 225 registrants excluding the Kiddy Trot. Transfers and deferrals are offered; no refunds. Unclaimed awards are available at SoleScience until November 24 and will be recycled after that date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
