From the Organizer
Lace up your sneakers, grab your (optional) costume, and join the spooktacular fun at Hopkinton Center for the Arts! Whether you're racing for glory or just chasing good vibes, this festive annual fall tradition is the perfect way to support the arts and celebrate the season.
This 5k walk/run takes place on a relatively flat course with traffic-free roads and groomed gravel trails. We also offer a 100-meter Wee Wicked Dash right before the start of the 5k race so that little goblins and ghouls can get in on the fun!
This event is a fundraiser. Your fee supports the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing creativity to our community.
Costumes encouraged!!
