Work Off that Halloween Candy in Advance

Halloween is quickly approaching, but you don’t have to wait until the big day to celebrate and get to know your neighbors a little bit.

On Sunday, October 27, at 6:30 am, participate in the 7th Annual Day of the Tread, a Halloween-themed race that you can complete by bike or on foot. Whichever you choose, you can join the post-ride celebration, enjoy a course lined with musicians, entertainment, and Halloween themed contests. Although costumes aren’t mandatory, they’re certainly encouraged. We wonder how many Walter White costumes there will be in Albuquerque this Halloween!

This year’s event benefits Casa Esperanza, a local organization that provides affordable homes and support to cancer victims and their families in the Albuquerque area. You can learn more about them at their website.
