About this race
Costumes are part of the start-line routine at Nightmare In Elmwood 5k, a Halloween 5K and fun run in Columbia, South Carolina. The race is run around Halloween in the historic Elmwood Park area, with a 5 km option and a shorter kids fun run of about 1.6 km. It is still a young neighborhood event, but it has already drawn more than 520 participants.
The course starts near 2204 Park Street and runs through Elmwood Park, close to downtown Columbia. Families, kids, runners in costume, and even dogs are part of the crowd. The neighborhood adds Halloween decorations, the event includes a costume contest, and volunteers get “skeleton crew” shirts while helping with race-day jobs.
