Halloween Trick or Trot Run, Atlanta (October 31, 2026)

Participants of all paces may run or walk; those under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Organizers describe waves that close when full and coordinators who support runners on course. Timing is optional: participants may track time with apps and submit results, or request coordinator assistance. The event does not use timing chips.
Swag is mailed to the US address provided at registration. Items listed include a running shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, a digital training pack, and an online certificate of completion. Race bibs are provided on race day and packet pickup is not required. Shirts are typically shipped the week of the race; late registrants may receive shirts after the event.
The event also promotes optional fundraising and a program that donates one dollar for each mile logged after the race to participating charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
