    Join The RUNEGADE Podcast for an unforgettable night in the woods.

    A Midsummer’s Night Scream is Southwest Ontario’s only trail race, taking place on Saturday, July 18 at 7:00 PM in the beautiful (and beautifully twisted) Two Creeks Conservation Area.

    This 8km night trail run blends the magic of trails with just the right touch of terror. Misty forests, glow or early moonlight, and trails that feel they're coming alive at dusk.

    You’ll experience the gnarliest, most wonderful singletrack in the region with dusk approaching - roots, ruts, and pine needle paths - as you race away from ghouls, spirits and the mysterious.

    Brought to you by The RUNEGADE Podcast, this event is all about supporting independent running media and supporting our local trails.

    Whether you've been curious about the trails, or just looking for an unique summer adventure, this is your chance to run through shadows, conquer challenging terrain, and scream (with excitement) alongside fellow trail runners.

    Spots are limited - register now and join us for an evening you won’t soon forget.

    • Free entry into Point Pelee

    • A Lightning Bolt race shirt (must register by the early bird deadline of September 11, 2026 to receive this)

    • Chip timed event by WRACE

    As usual, there will be a big ticket prize, what it is as this point is not known!

    We've tried a few different options for those who have pledged additional funds, but it's been confusing in the past. This is how tickets will work this year - every participant will get a ticket that will go towards the general door prizes. Those who raise additional pledges of $300 or more, will receive a UMEI branded cooler bag at registration (see photo). Share your pledge page on social media, to your family and friends, etc!!

    This event runs rain or shine! There will likely be black flies and mosquitos - dress accordingly and bring/wear bug spray!

    A map of the race is below: One lap around is 5k, those running 10k will complete it twice. Further instruction will be given at the event.
