About the Halloween 5K and Monster Mile
The Halloween 5K and Monster Mile runs along Mine Road in Stafford, with a path beside the course where parents can stay close to younger runners doing the shorter distance. Costumes are encouraged, and there is a contest with prizes for the best ones. The race benefits Project Lifesaver, a search and rescue program for individuals prone to wandering.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning. Registration is online only, and if something comes up, the organizers ask that you send someone else to collect your packet rather than request a transfer or refund. Strollers are welcome in the longer distance, though they ask those participants to line up toward the back. Pets are not allowed at this event.

The Halloween 5K and Monster Mile has been held every year since at least 2020. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
