From the organizers
The Witches, Wheels & Wicked Trails event combines the community spirit of a traditional "Witches Ride" with a fitness-focused Halloween celebration. Hosted by the Hardy County Health and Wellness Center on October 31, 2026, the festivities kick off at 4:00 p.m.
Similar to classic Witches Rides across the country, this event focuses heavily on festive wheels and creative flair. Participants are highly encouraged to embrace the theme! Grab your favorite witch hat, cape, or full Halloween costume to join the local "coven" of participants. Whether you are hopping on a bicycle or setting up a stroller for the family event, dressing up your "broomstick on wheels" is a major highlight of the day.
