About the Trick or Trail: A Costumed 5K Trail Run

The course runs through the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, a large coastal preserve where the terrain shifts from open meadow to forest to wetland within a single loop. Expect a proper trail underfoot, not a paved path. Costumes are encouraged, which gives the start line a different energy than most trail races.

Packet pickup is available the afternoon before at the Visitor Center, with a race-morning option as well. There is a water station at the halfway point and another at the finish.
