Trick or Trot 2027 : Waterloo
Trick or Trot is a Halloween-themed running event on Sunday, October 31, 2027, held at Laurel Creek Trail with a meeting area at 445 Wes Graham Way, Waterloo, ON N2L 6R2. The event includes a 5K race and a 200 m fun run. A stroller category called Future Runner is available for stroller occupants; stroller passengers must be registered and accompanied by another participant.
A pre-race Halloween costume contest takes place at the start line. Contestants register the week before the event and are presented on stage in sequence. Categories used in 2026 included Adult, Group (2+), Youth 10-17, and Child under 10; 2027 contest categories and prizes are in development and will be announced later.
All finishers in the 200 m and the 5K receive finisher medals. Past medal designs included a glow-in-the-dark medal in 2025 and a light-up medal in 2026; designs for 2027 are being prepared. The 2027 course is slightly different than previous maps used in earlier years. Bib pickup and pre-race activities occur before the races, and the costume contest is scheduled at the start line with prizes to be announced.
