Get your SPOOK on with our annual Vampire-O tradition on October 28th. It’s a family-friendly journey through the woods of Darlington Provincial Park.We’ll give you a map and it’s up to you to navigate and find as many checkpoints (and avoid zombies!) as you can in 90 minutes in the dark.
Each racer should have a headlamp or flashlight. Consider giving your children a bike flasher or glowstick.
Terrain: Many trails, shallow contours, some clear areas, but generally infested with Zombies and Vampires.
Costumes: okay, not required, but come on, it's Halloween! Dress for the weather. We run rain or moonshine!
