About the Spooky Fun 5k and Walk

The course runs around a college campus, passing through the kind of open grounds you find at a residential school. The route is organized by a student service fraternity, and the atmosphere on race day reflects that: volunteers from the campus community are out along the course, and the whole thing has the feel of a group that put real effort into the day.

After the run there are crafts, games, and snacks on the lawn where the race starts and finishes. Packet pickup closes before the gun goes off, so plan to arrive with time to spare.

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.

Common Questions About the Spooky Fun 5k and Walk

Will I finish last at the Spooky Fun 5k and Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 31:06, and the last recorded finisher came in around 54:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Spooky Fun 5k and Walk a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (27 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Spooky Fun 5k and Walk?

The 3 Miles winner ran 22:17 while the median finisher took 31:06. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
