Halloween Dusk 2 Dawn

Sporting Events

31 Oct 2026 to 1 Nov 2026 Annual Event

This will be the eigth year of Halloween Dusk 2 Dawn.

Spooky night trail running through the Cairncross State Forest. Five races to choose from over a seven-kilometre lap course.

See the gentle yellow flickers from the brave souls that dare to trick or treat running or riding through the forest. Will the runners be guided by the faint lights or growing daylight?

Midnight sees a change of direction for all runners already lost in the forest. It also sees the brave souls of the Midnight Half Marathon start. Dressed up to trick or treat through the seven-kilometre forest course.
So take your pick or even attempt a couple of events.

Only those who are game will take on the forest, only the strongest will survive.
