Race guide

Official date status

Hallow's Eve Trail Race Marathon is listed for October 24, 2026. This date refers to the race represented in this guide; other distances and expo activities may run on different days.

Official date information checked on 2026-10-18. This check covers the date status, not entry availability or final race operations.

Hallow’s Eve returns to Inter River Park on October 24, 2026

The detailed timetable gives a marathon check-in deadline of 06:45 and a briefing at 06:50, while the general check-in instruction says everyone must arrive 45 minutes before starting. Plan for the earlier 06:15 arrival and confirm the latest instructions. The registration platform also shows a general 07:30 header, so use the organizer’s final distance-specific communication to resolve the conflicting start information.

Collecting your number the previous evening does not remove the race-day check-in requirement. The event offers Friday collection at Running Room North Vancouver and race-morning collection at the start. Check availability and the final hours before choosing an option.

The North Shore trail setting calls for footwear and equipment suited to the actual route and conditions. Review the marathon map and elevation profile, then prepare for its climbs and technical footing rather than using the half-marathon or 10 km course as a substitute.

Bring a reusable cup or flask for aid stations and the finish, and test it during training. If wearing a costume, make sure it does not interfere with vision, footing, carrying equipment or following the mandatory-kit rules. The event allows a labelled dry bag near check-in; confirm the current procedure and pack suitable post-race clothing. Companions should use approved viewing areas and avoid obstructing the trails or park access. Check aid spacing, cutoff rules and the final printable runner information before race day, because the page says that document will be updated closer to the event. The October 24 date is confirmed for 2026. No exact 2027 edition is established here, and the old Foretrails URL has been replaced with the current organizer page.
