Halloween Howler
Saturday 28th Oct 20235km – 10km – 21km – 42km – 50km – 6hr
The Halloween Howler is a Saturday afternoon/evening trail run that provides the perfect backdrop to an evening of surprises, and maybe a few spooks!! Part of a series designed to introduce people to night running, competitors enjoy a safe and supported 5km loop race under headtorch. The shorter distances are completed before sunset, with the 21k, 42k and 50k pushing into the night.
Safe and supported – yes. But be prepared for some of those strange happenings that only occur at Halloween!

All Trailsplus events donate $1 for each participant to CanTeen, the Australian organisation for Young people Living with cancer.
UPDATE: In 2022, there were 113 competitors and $90 donations through registration, so Trailsplus donated $203 to CanTeen from the Halloween race.
On June 30th 2019 we surpassed donations of $50,000 to CanTeen. Massive thanks to our runners, volunteers and supporters.
