A Midsummer's Night Scream

A Midsummer's Night Scream

A Midsummer's Night Scream is an 8 km night trail run at Two Creeks Conservation Area, 1 Kent Road, Wheatley, ON, Canada, scheduled for July 18, 2026. The course follows singletrack with roots, ruts and pine-needle surfaces through wooded sections at dusk.

The event features a horror-themed atmosphere with mist, low light and staged elements that suggest ghouls and spirits along the trails. The running environment includes sections of reduced visibility and natural trail obstacles typical of singletrack terrain.

Presented by The RUNEGADE Podcast, the event supports independent running media and local trail maintenance. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to support Two Creeks Conservation Area trails.

Registration details listed include a registration window from May 24 to July 16 and a fee of CA$56.20 for the 8 km category, with limited spots noted. Organizers state that trail running involves inherent risks such as uneven terrain, roots, rocks, wildlife and low visibility; participants take part at their own risk and the organizers decline liability for injuries or accidents.
