2026 Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest
The Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest returns for its seventh annual edition on October 25, 2026. Held at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Main Street in Winters, California, this community sports event features multiple distances and a holiday theme. Participants have the option to enter a costume contest with prizes awarded for both individual and group categories.
The event offers several race categories to suit different participants:
- 10K Run: A timed event with a three-hour course limit.
- 5K Run or Run/Walk: A timed event with a three-hour course limit.
- 1 mile Adult: An untimed fun run for adults and teens.
- 1 mile Monster Dash: An untimed run specifically for children.
The 5K and 10K courses are open to regular vehicle traffic, and participants are required to observe all traffic laws. Volunteers are stationed at intersections, and course cone removal begins at 10:00 am. A water station along these routes provides electrolyte mix.
Finishers in all categories receive a custom medal. Participants in the 5K, 10K, and adult 1 mile events also receive a technical t-shirt and one beverage at a specified local brewery on the day of the event. Timing services are provided for the 5K and 10K races using chip technology, with place awards given to the top three male and female finishers in these distances.
Packet pick-up is available locally on the Saturday before the event and on the morning of the race at Rotary Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
