Halloween Run 2026

The Northampton Halloween Run is a six-hour timed race on a flat out-and-back trail, starting at 9:00 am with a Halloween theme. Runners complete laps within the time limit, allowing them to finish any distance from 5K up to a half marathon. This format suits those seeking a short run and those planning to stay out longer. The course offers consistent terrain and requires no navigation. The task is straightforward: maintain pace, make the turn, and track laps. A related Halloween Trick or Trot Run in Kansas City’s Mill Creek Park provides 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile choices. It is open to runners and walkers of all ages and paces, with free Halloween candy distributed post-race. Its wave start system may lead to popular start times filling before registration closes.
