About the 2026 Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest
The race runs out of Rotary Park, at the corner of Railroad Street and Main Street. The shorter distances follow a nature path along Putah Creek, turning back at the halfway point. The longer distances use streets open to regular traffic, with volunteers stationed at intersections. Everyone wears a costume, and there are prizes for both individual and group getups.
Packet pickup runs the day before at Hooby's Brewing on Main Street, with race-morning pickup available at the park by the gazebo. Parking is in city lots on Abbey Street, one near a local coffee house and one beside the Winters Hotel, with residential street parking nearby as well.

Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest 2025 Results
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The 2026 Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest has been held every year since at least 2019. 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.
