English term or phrase: "Track" or treat

**Track or Treat**
Running Scared
Halloween is coming - but if your days of trick or treating are behind you, you can get into the spirit of fright night by running for your favourite Halloween spook.

Es un texto de un programa de running relacionado con Halloween. Alguien me ayuda con este juego de palabras? No encuentro nada en español que suene medianamente bien...

Gracias de antemano!

"track" or treat "travesía" o travesura

Explanation:
Ya sé que "track" va en lugar de "trick", que sería la travesura y faltaría el dulce pero bueno... está difícil esto, che, y me parece mejor poder mantener algún tipo de juego de palabras ¿Qué les parece?

Tomás Cano Binder, CT: Muy buena. Aunque soy algo contrario al Halloween en España. Estamos cambiando un día de recuerdo de nuestros muertos por un día de que los niños del barrio te persigan para sacarte caramelos que les dañarán los dientes. :-)
