EAGLE LAKE —A night of glowing lights, family fun and an important message is coming to downtown Eagle Lake this Halloween.
The Glow Walk City Mile Marathon will take place Saturday, October 31, from 5 to 9 p.m., bringing the community together for an evening of entertainment while raising awareness about human trafficking.
The event is the vision of Dasia Richardson, a human trafficking survivor, who hopes to turn her personal experience into something positive for Eagle Lake and surrounding communities.
Richardson wants the event to be more than just a race. Her goal is to create a welcoming place where families can enjoy themselves, connect with others and learn about an issue that affects communities across the country.
The evening will feature a one-mile walk or race through downtown Eagle Lake, along with food, games, entertainment, face painting and local vendors.
Families can also enjoy a costume contest and a competition recognizing the most brightly decorated vendor booth. With the event taking place on Halloween, participants are encouraged to embrace the glow theme.
Admission is free, and residents do not have to participate in the race to attend the festivities.
For those interested in joining the mile event, registration fees are:
- Ages 17 and younger: Free
- Adults 18 and older: $20
- Families of up to seven: $50
- Groups of eight or more: $100
Organizers are also accepting food and craft vendors. The vendor fee is $40, while nonprofit organizations and government services can participate at no charge.
Vendors interested in participating can text 979-227-8585 or contact organizers through the Glow Walk 2026 Facebook page.
Race participants can register through Eventbrite.
The event will be held near Eagle Lake City Hall, 100 Main Street, from 5 to 9 p.m.
Presented by The Entity Haven, the Glow Walk aims to bring people together for a fun Halloween evening while encouraging conversations about human trafficking and supporting awareness in the community.
