Frightful 5K and Pumpkin 1K 2026

The Frightful 5K and Pumpkin 1K begin at the Troy Community Center, located at 3179 Livernois Road in Troy, Michigan, during the Halloween season. The City of Troy hosts the event, offering an 8:30 am 5K for runners and walkers, followed by a 9:30 am Pumpkin 1K family fun run for children and their families. The 5K follows a USATF-certified route that departs the Community Center, proceeds along Big Beaver, and concludes with a loop around the Troy Civic Campus. Costumes are encouraged, with participants invited to wear spooky, scary, or humorous attire, blending a timed road race with a local Halloween tradition.
