The Howling Ghost Trail Race

The Howling Ghost Trail Race is an annual trail running event held at the Springwater Conservation Area in Aylmer, Ontario, Canada. Participants can choose from multiple distances: an 8k, 16k, or 24k course, each consisting of one to three loops through the scenic Carolinian forest. A unique feature is the Night Howl, an 8k night race requiring headlamps, with an option to complete both day and night races for a challenge.

The trails are mostly wide, groomed, and runnable, suitable for all skill levels. The event supports the Children's Health Foundation and offers awards, swag, and costume contests, creating a festive and inclusive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
