About the Freaky 5K & Kids Trick or Treat 1/4 mile Trot
The course starts and finishes in a town parking lot on Wantagh Avenue, and the organizer bills it as flat and fast. Halloween costumes are part of the deal, with prize categories for adults and kids alike, so expect some memorable race-day outfits alongside the more competitive runners. Cash prizes go to the top finishers, with a masters division and a wheelchair division as well.
Packet pickup runs the two days before the race at the foundation's center on Wantagh Avenue, with additional pickup at the start area on race morning. Bibs should be worn on the front of your torso so finish-line photos are searchable by bib number. Post-race refreshments are on hand after you cross.

The Freaky 5K & Kids Trick or Treat 1/4 mile Trot has been held every year since at least 2015. 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 18, 2026.
