Goblin Run 2026

The Goblin Run is a Halloween 5K and kids fun run in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. The race starts at 7:30 AM, with a course that begins and ends downtown. It is part of the Bentonville Running Series and is designed for families and runners focused on time: first-timers, children, and experienced racers can all participate in the same morning. Costumes are a primary feature. Participants are encouraged to run the course dressed as goblins, superheroes, ghosts, pirates, ballerinas, or other spooky characters. A costume contest for kids and adults follows the race. Every runner receives a shirt and finisher medal. The Kids Fun Run starts after the last 5K runner completes the course, and dogs are not permitted on the course for safety reasons.
