On October 31, 2026, runners of all ages are invited to participate in the Covington Circle Trail's Halloween-themed race at Covington City Park. This family-friendly event offers both 5K and 10K distances along a scenic course that loops around the park’s soccer field before heading east towards the Trojan Complex. Participants can expect chip-timed races, with first place medals awarded to winners in each age division for both male and female runners. The race starts at 9 AM ET from Covington City Park's soccer pavilion on the Covington Circle Trail, offering a festive atmosphere complete with water stations along the route. Costumes are encouraged, making this event not only competitive but also fun. The course features varied terrain as it winds through picturesque neighborhoods and parks, providing runners with beautiful fall scenery and opportunities to enjoy the crisp autumn air. For those bringing their little ones or strollers, the race is welcoming of both, ensuring that everyone can participate in a healthy and active Halloween celebration. Race day registration begins at 7:30 AM ET for early packet pickup, though pre-registration before October 12th guarantees participants a commemorative t-shirt. Bib/t-shirt pick-up is also available on Thursday night from 6-7 PM at the Covington Nursery School located at 1135 Liberty in Covington. The event supports the Covington Nursery School, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing early childhood education since 1974. Proceeds benefit this vital community resource that relies heavily on fundraising events like this race to continue offering essential services to young children and their families. Join fellow runners for an exciting morning of friendly competition and festive fun at the Covington Circle Trail's Halloween-themed races, where every step contributes to a great cause.
