The Dash of Doom is Calgary's only Halloween Night Race! This is a family-friendly and pet-friendly event taking place the Saturday before Halloween. Families, dogs and strollers are all encouraged to don their creative costumes and take part in this race supporting AARCS.

WHY It's Spooktaclar

• Festive finish line food (is there such thing as too much candy?!)

• Finish line fun - stay for the carnival-like atmosphere. 

• Kids race for the wee ghosties.

• Animals in costumes, need we say more?

• Photo booth, DJ, face-painting, and poochie vendors to keep the whole gang entertained.

• Dig deep in to the tickle trunk as we will be awarding costume prizes in a number of categories.

• NEW this year - we've upped the ante for Best Dog Costume - if your pooch wins, they'll be featured on next years medal and swag!
