About
Scare in White Bear is a Halloween-themed nighttime fun run featuring a torch-lit 5K course and a kids fun run on the shores of White Bear Lake. This festive fall event includes Halloween decorations, a spooky photo booth, and kid-friendly trick-or-treating on the beach before the race. Open to all abilities — including walkers, strollers, and dogs — it's one of Minnesota's most popular Halloween running events. Costumes are encouraged, and age-group awards add a fun competitive edge. A perfect way to celebrate Halloween week in the Twin Cities.
