Halloween Trick or Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 CHICAGO/EVANSTON 2026

The Halloween Trick or Trot Run is a small Halloween-themed run on Chicago’s Lakefront Trail, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, plus a family mile and a virtual option. It is designed for runners and walkers, welcoming all paces. Children may participate with a guardian, and wave sizes are limited to maintain a smaller field. The course details are emailed to participants. The race takes place on the Lakefront Trail in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Timing is optional, without chips; runners can use an app or seek assistance from coordinators. Finishers receive a medal, shirt, towel, or giveaway, along with Halloween candy. Late registrants might receive shirts by mail after the event. Sold-out waves encourage participation in the virtual run or waitlist. The organizer also connects post-race logged miles to charitable contributions.
