A New Twist on a Wolf Lake Tradition!
This year marks the 15th anniversary of our Wolf Lake trail run and the 5th anniversary of our trunk-or-treat. To celebrate, we are bringing both traditions together for one family-friendly Halloween event!
Wolf Lake Trails & Treats will feature an untimed Zombie Outbreak 3.5K Fun Run through our wooded trails along with free trunk-or-treating, costumes, prizes, and Halloween fun.
Unlike the traditional Wolf Lake 5K, this year’s event will focus less on formal racing and more on bringing our community together. Guests can register for the fun run, attend the free trunk-or-treat, or enjoy both activities.
Event Highlights:
Untimed 3.5K run or walk
Zombies stationed throughout the trail
Free community Trunk-or-Treat
“I Survived the Zombies of Wolf Lake” giveaway for registered finishers
Special prizes for the first 15 fun-run finishers
Best Costume competition
Best Decorated Trunk competition

Run, jog, or walk our wooded 3.5K trail—but watch out for zombies along the way!
This is an untimed fun run, so participants of different ages and fitness levels can complete the course at their own pace. There will be no timing chips, official placements, or age-group awards.
The course will be open for anyone to participate at 3:30pm - 4:30pm, during the event rather than having one traditional race start. Volunteer zombies will be stationed in designated areas to create a spooky trail experience. Zombies will not grab participants.
Every registered finisher will receive a general “I Survived the Zombies of Wolf Lake” giveaway. The first 15 finishers will also receive a special prize for those who still enjoy a little friendly competition!
Fun-Run Registration:
Preregistration: $15 per person
Day-of registration: $20 per person
Children age 8 and younger: Free with a registered adult
Distance: 3.5K
Format: Untimed run or walk
Course location: Hamburg Fitness Center property
Children age 8 and younger must remain with their registered adult while participating on the course.
