About the race
The hall-EAU-ween 5K is a family-friendly, untimed Halloween run and walk held on October 30, 2026 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The course begins on the Forest Street Gardens gravel road and finishes in Phoenix Park in downtown Eau Claire.
The event is sold out at 1,500 participants; a waitlist is available. Registration includes a finisher medal and a black-and-white checkered hall-EAU-ween blanket. A virtual category is offered; virtual participants receive the same finisher swag and medal. Organizers do not offer refunds or deferrals for the ECM 5K Race Series.
Costumes are encouraged but not required, with prizes awarded for crowd favorite costumes in multiple categories. The course includes spooky areas and is described as dark; organizers strongly encourage participants to bring a flashlight or headlamp. Walkers and strollers are allowed. If a child rides in a stroller and wants event swag or a medal, the child should be registered individually; if not, registration is not required for the child. Dogs are not permitted for this event.
Parking options include street parking or the North Barstow Parking Ramp. The hall-EAU-ween 5K is part of the ECM 5K Race Series; completing or volunteering at all four series events qualifies for the ECM 5K Race Series chair award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
