About the Trick or Trot 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

The course follows the paved beach path along Ocean Boulevard, so the surface is smooth and the scenery is open water the whole way. It runs as a Halloween costume race, and people take the dressing-up seriously. A kids run happens after the main distances wrap up, and a finish-line festival with a DJ, snacks, and shaded seating keeps things going.

Bib pickup happens race morning at the Race Ready Athletics tent on site. Street parking along Ocean Boulevard is free, and a paid beach lot is right there if you need it. Personal items can be stored at the Race Ready tent during your run.
