Wicked 5K & 10K 2026

The Wicked 5K & 10K begins and ends at Federal Jack's Restaurant and Brewpub in Kennebunk, Maine. The event centers on Halloween costumes, coastal roads, and a brewpub after-party. The series features chip-timed 5K and 10K races, alongside the Kid's Wicked Dash for younger participants. The main races commence in the morning, with the kids' run starting shortly thereafter. This established local event, now in its 17th year, maintains a relaxed atmosphere suitable for strollers, families, costume runners, and those seeking a timed race that still includes a festive element. The 5K and 10K courses follow coastal roads near Kennebunk. The kids' dash starts at the arch, proceeds down Doane's Wharf Road, turns, and returns to the finish. Costumes are encouraged, with a contest and a winner's plaque. Awards are also presented to overall finishers and age-group runners up to 80+. All Kid's Dash finishers receive a medal. Following the race, adult runners of legal drinking age are offered Shipyard beers, live music begins at Federal Jack's, and a portion of the proceeds benefits The Community Gourmet, with volunteer support from The Sand Witches of Kennebunks and Seacoast Lions Club.
