Imagine Halloween Morning…
Families, runners, and walkers dressed in creative costumes, colorful decorations, music, laughter, and hundreds of people enjoying one of Porterville’s most beautiful outdoor spaces.
Join us on Saturday, October 31, 2026, for the Tule River Parkway Boo Run 5K & 10K! Whether you are a seasoned runner chasing a personal best, a casual walker, or a family looking for a fun Halloween activity, there is something for everyone.
Both races start and finish at Fallen Heroes Park in Porterville. The courses travel along the Tule River Parkway, a paved pedestrian and bicycle trail that follows the Tule River. The 5K features a shorter out-and-back course, while the 10K continues farther along the Parkway before returning to the park.
Costumes Encouraged
Come dressed as something spooky, silly, heroic, or completely original. Costumes are encouraged but not required. Please make sure your costume is safe for running or walking, does not block your vision, and does not create a tripping hazard for you or anyone around you.
Fallen Heroes Park offers restrooms, playgrounds, pavilions, picnic areas, and other amenities for participants and their families to enjoy before and after the race.
FREE BICYCLE HELMET GIVEAWAY
The Tulare County Association of Governments will be giving away bicycle helmets during the event while supplies last.
