About the race
Hallows Eve is a trail running event on Saturday, October 24, 2026, on the North Shore of Vancouver. Races start and finish at Inter River Park near the entrance to the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. Distances offered:
- 10K
- Half marathon
- Marathon
Courses follow local trails including Richard Juryn, Sea-to-Sky, Baden-Powell and sections with boardwalks through marshes, stairs, river service roads and technical singletrack. Terrain varies between groomed and technical trails, with multiple climbs and downhill sections. The marathon route uses additional mountain trails and road sections and passes several aid stations; the marathon passes aid stations five times, the half marathon three times and the 10K once. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, gels, chews, cookies and other treats, and offer first aid and hygiene supplies. Marshals record bib numbers at key intersections and some aid stations. The course will be marked with pink and black flagging tape, pink flags, signs and marshals.
There is no mandatory gear list, but runners are asked to carry hydration and fuel, bring a personal drinking container because events are cup-free, and consider extra clothing for changing weather. Poles are allowed but should not be used in the start area. Packet pickup is available the day before at the Running Room in North Vancouver and on race day at the start. Awards include finisher medals for all finishers and podium awards by gender; there are also awards for best costume. Parking is available at Inter River Park and at Capilano University; carpooling is recommended. The organizer notes that the area is bear country and advises appropriate caution.
