Witches Wave Halloween Run
The Witches Wave Halloween Run takes place at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Huntington Beach, California. The event features a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, as well as a separate Pumpkin Kids Dash for children. All participants receive a finisher medal and a sustainable race shirt made from eco-friendly materials.
The event is a chip-timed race with awards for the top three overall male and female finishers in each distance, as well as age group awards. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes. Post-race festivities include a costume contest, a Witch’s Cackle Showdown, a DJ, a trick-or-treat candy station, photo opportunities, a dance-off, and pumpkin ring toss games.
The courses are described as open-pathway routes held on car-free, pedestrian-friendly trails like beach paths. Parking at the state beach costs $15 per vehicle. Pre-race packet pickup is available at Road Runner Sports in Costa Mesa on a date prior to the event, as well as on race morning at the site starting at 7:00 AM.
