About the Run The Boo- 5K & Kids Race

This is a Halloween costume race based out of Beaverhead Brewing Company in Dillon. The road course winds through city streets, marked with orange arrows, cones, and painted pavement. Costumes are expected, not just tolerated, so most people show up dressed for it. Strollers are welcome.

Packet pickup happens race morning at the brewery, so there is no need to make a separate trip the day before. You do need to check in and collect a timing bib before you run. The race benefits a local scholarship fund connected to a nearby university.

Common Questions About the Run The Boo- 5K & Kids Race

Will I finish last at the Run The Boo- 5K & Kids Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 47:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run The Boo- 5K & Kids Race a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (19 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run The Boo- 5K & Kids Race?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 23:25 while the median finisher took 33:20. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
