No, but costumes are encouraged. The event is built around a Halloween theme and many participants dress up for the 5K and the kids dash.
The 5K runs on a mix of paved pathways, grass and loose gravel. There are some slight inclines and declines, so the route is varied but approachable rather than flat and uniform.
Yes. The event is described as bringing together runners, walkers and little monsters, and it is billed as a family-friendly option, so walkers are welcome on the 5K.
A normal road shoe handles most of the course, but because the route includes loose gravel and grass, a shoe with a little more grip will feel more secure, particularly if the ground is wet in late October.
Late October mornings in Burnaby are cool and often damp. Arrive early enough to collect your bib, warm up, and layer up before the start, and plan for limited daylight at that hour.
