2026 MADD 5K and Fun Run

Trick or Trot Pumpkin Run 5K is a Halloween-themed 5K at Washington Park in Albany, with costumes treated as part of the race day rather than an extra. It is built for a broad crowd, including families and runners with strollers, though stroller runners are asked to start at the back for safety. Registered runners get a wicking fabric shirt, and ARE Event Productions handles chip timing. The route leans into the Halloween theme with a witch's village, ghouls, ghosts, and a pumpkin patch along the way. After the run, the event continues with giveaways, vendors, decorations, a DJ, Best Costume prizes, age-group awards, and random prize drawings. Paid ParkAlbany lots sit near Washington Park, including one with DC fast EV chargers, and the event bars alcohol, glass containers, and pets except ADA-defined service animals.
