About the Event

On the eerie evening of October 24, 2026, runners are invited to don their most creative Halloween costumes as they take part in a spirited 5K run/walk through the heart of the city. This festive fundraising event is organized by HOPE's green economy training program, which aims to empower families and transform the urban landscape into a more sustainable future.
Participants will wind their way through scenic routes lined with autumn foliage, illuminated by flickering jack-o'-lanterns and twinkling lights that set an enchanting mood. The race course showcases some of the city’s most charming neighborhoods, providing runners and spectators alike with captivating views as they celebrate in style.
As runners cross the finish line, they will be greeted not only by cheering supporters but also a variety of activities designed to enhance their Halloween experience. Costumed characters from classic tales and horror stories add an extra layer of excitement for all ages, while vendors offer eco-friendly merchandise and refreshments that align with HOPE's mission.
This unique event offers more than just physical exercise; it is a community-driven initiative aimed at raising awareness about sustainable living practices and supporting local families in need. By participating, runners contribute to the creation of a greener economy for generations to come.
Join us on October 24th as we run towards a brighter future while celebrating all things spooky!
