Trick or Trail 5K

The Trick or Trail 5K is a Halloween themed running event held in Collyar Park in Laurens, South Carolina on October 17, 2026. The course combines road running with trail sections through the Joe R. Adair Outdoor Education Center, offering changes in surface and direction along the route.

The event starts in Collyar Park, moves onto road sections to spread the field, then continues onto winding trails before returning to pavement for a finish back at Collyar Park. The format includes elements of both road and trail terrain that participants will encounter during the 5 kilometer distance.

Registration opens on June 22, 2026 and closes on October 17, 2026. The listed registration fee is $35. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be awarded for creativity, speed, and spirit.

After the race there is a gathering near the square featuring local vendors, treats, and activities aimed at families. The event description emphasizes seasonal atmosphere and a mix of running surfaces rather than competition categories or qualification requirements.
