Voted Best of the Best in Arvada for Non Profit Events by Colorado Community Media! Join the Apex Foundation for the 6th Anniversary Trick or Trot 5K, presented by Intermountain Health! Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are all welcome to join us for this Halloween celebration. Dress in your Halloween best for a chance to win prizes for the costume contest. Contest categories include Best 12 & Under, Best Couple, Best Group, Best Homemade, and Best Pet costumes.
There will be a separate 1-mile Trick or Trot Candy Hunt for kids 12 & under. Kids can grab candy at our designated trick or trot stations along the 1-mile course. Participants will need to register for this event specifically, as it is separate from the 5K race. Kids registered in the 5k race receive automatic entry to Halloween Hunt. One parent/guardian is encouraged to join but does not need to register. Course giveaways will be available for registered participants only.
Registered 5K participants will receive an event giveaway item, swag bag, and a chance to win great prizes!
Proceeds from this event benefit the Apex Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose purpose is to support Apex Park and Recreation District’s efforts to deliver quality community recreation. https://foundation.apexprd.org/who-we-are/
