Run the Sound 5K – Halloween Edition
Run the Sound 5K – Halloween Edition takes place on October 31, 2026 at Seaside Park & Beach in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The event is a community-focused 5K run/walk with on-site music, local vendors, and pre- and post-race activities.
The event program includes three separate pace groups to space participants on the course:
- Group A: runners aiming for a faster pace.
- Group B: a run/walk mix for casual participants.
- Group C: walkers, families and those taking a relaxed approach.
Costumes are encouraged and a Halloween costume contest will follow the 5K. Paid participants receive a race bib and a custom finisher medal; goodie bags are also provided. Kids 12 and under may participate free with a registered adult.
Registration opens October 13, 2026. Fee tiers are listed for different registration periods: an early price through October 24, a higher price during the week before the event through October 30, and a race-day price on October 31. During registration participants may make an optional donation to the Purple Heart Foundation to support programs for veterans and their families. Donations are voluntary and separate from the registration fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
