About the 36TH SEAWITCH 5K CLASSIC & 1M FRIGHT WALK
The course runs through a pine grove on the north side of Rehoboth Beach, which gives it a different feel from a boardwalk race. The out-and-back walk shares the start, so the area has plenty of activity before the gun. Halloween costumes are part of the culture here, and there is a parade of costumes just before the start.
Packet pickup is the evening before at a pub in Lewes that offers pasta on the menu, so dinner and bib pickup happen in the same stop. Parking is at Grove Park, along Henlopen and Rehoboth Avenues. A silent auction runs pre-race through the awards ceremony, benefiting a local scholarship fund.

The 36TH SEAWITCH 5K CLASSIC & 1M FRIGHT WALK has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
