Please join us on Saturday October 24, 2026 for our 6th annual Ghostly Gallop 5k! Our 5k is Halloween themed and we encourage runners and walkers to come in costume! We know you want to wear that Halloween costume more than once! Each runner will receive a t-shirt at check in and there will be a overall female and male runner, plus each age group top finisher male and female.
Our 5k will start and end at Belfast Area High School at 8:30am. Registration will begin at 7:45am. Please meet at the lower parking lot of the high school as the race will start and finish there. The race will weave through downtown Belfast and come back to the high school to finish
