From the Organizer
Lace up your sneakers, grab your (optional) costume, and join us for the Wicked 5K, a fun-filled community fundraiser benefiting the Hopkinton Center for the Arts! Whether you're running for a personal best or strolling with friends and family, every step you take helps support arts education, performances, exhibitions, scholarships, and community programs that make the arts accessible to all.
This festive fall tradition features a relatively flat 5K walk/run course with traffic-free roads and groomed gravel trails, making it enjoyable for participants of all ages and abilities. Little goblins and ghouls can join the excitement, too, in our 100-meter Wee Wicked Dash, held just before the start of the 5K.
Your registration is more than race entry—it's an investment in creativity and community. Proceeds from the event directly support the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering joy, belonging, and lifelong learning through the arts.

Costumes are encouraged, holiday spirit is welcome, and every mile makes a difference!
