Run Calgary invites you to be a part of the 11th Annual Dash of Doom Halloween Race on Saturday, October 24, 2026!
This family-friendly and pet-friendly race is a beloved Halloween tradition! With a Kids Race, 5 km walk/run, and 10 km run, there's something for everyone!
Saturday October 24, 2026
We've put together a full afternoon of Halloween festivities that are sure to entertain all the goblins and ghouls in your life. We're inviting all participants to join us before the races to explore our pre-race Halloween Festival! Get your face painted for free, try out some games, get crafty, and don't forget to snap some pics at one of the photo backdrops!
Join us and come dressed up in your creative costumes, and don't forget the costume for your pooch! All costumes, both human and pets, will be eligible for awards! The best dog costume will win a prize package and, most importantly, they will be featured on the 2027 medal and shirt!

Sustainability Efforts
In an effort to continue our sustainability and conservation efforts, we are offering an optional finisher's medal again this year for the 5km and 10km races. For those that still love to collect medals from races (we see you!) you can add the medal to your cart during registration! Medals will be available while quantities last. For those that wish to help create a little less waste, you can choose not to purchase the optional medal. All kids participating in the Kids Race will receive a medal.
** All fees associated with race registration are non-refundable.**
Please see the 'Entry Fee Includes' section to see what is included in your registration fee.
