From the Organizer
Experience Hurds Family Farm after dark like never before! Put on your running shoes—or your favorite Halloween costume—and race through the orchards on a one-of-a-kind nighttime course featuring rolling farm roads, orchard rows, wooded trails, and beautiful fall scenery brought to life by the sights and sounds of Spooktacular Weekend.
The 5K features professional chip timing with instant results, and every participant will receive a commemorative finisher medal. After crossing the finish line, celebrate with a fresh cider donut, cold apple cider, bonfires, and all the fun of our Spooktacular Night Event. Whether you're chasing a personal best or making unforgettable family memories, this is one of the Hudson Valley's most unique nighttime running experiences.
Costumes are encouraged but not required. Portions of the course will be illuminated while other sections remain naturally dark, so a headlamp is recommended. Spectators are welcome to enjoy Spooktacular Weekend with the purchase of event admission.
