The Dash of Doom Halloween Run on October 25, 2025, in Calgary, Alberta, celebrates its 10th anniversary with fun for the whole family and your pets. Enjoy a 1 km Kids Race, 5 km walk/run, and 10 km run while dressed in your best costume. Awards are presented for the best costumes, including a special prize for the best dog costume, which will be featured on the 2026 medal and shirt.
