Get ready to run through the eerie streets of Wrightwood on October 24, 2026, for an unforgettable Halloween experience. The Frightwood Run offers participants a unique and thrilling adventure with its Hauntingly Good Time - Run 5K at 6K event. The main attraction is the spirited Frightwood 5K race starting promptly at 12:45 p.m., where runners will encounter friendly ghouls lurking along the paved course. The route winds through Wrightwood, a community that transforms into a spooky wonderland for this special day. Whether you're sprinting past haunted houses or walking with wraiths, every step of your journey is filled with excitement and mystery. In addition to the main 5K race, there are two family-friendly events designed for younger participants: the Drac Dash at noon (for children aged four and under) and the Mini Monster Mile starting at 12:15 p.m. (for kids up to ten years old). Both of these fun-filled activities offer a taste of Halloween without the frights, ensuring that every child can enjoy the festive atmosphere. Participants will have plenty of opportunities for memorable photos as they pass through various haunted spots along the course and at designated photo points throughout Wrightwood. The event also features spirited t-shirts to commemorate your spooky run, making it an excellent opportunity to embrace creativity with costumes or makeup inspired by Halloween's most terrifying creatures. Safety is a top priority during this family-friendly event, with dedicated safety teams and friendly volunteers ensuring that everyone has a fantastic time without worry. After crossing the finish line at 1:00 p.m., racers can look forward to awards ceremonies recognizing outstanding performances in various age categories as well as overall male and female winners. Proceeds from the Frightwood Run benefit local organizations such as Wrightwood CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), Serrano High School's Drama Department, and Wrightwood Elementary School’s Raccoon Running Club. By participating, runners contribute to making their community a safer place while supporting arts education and youth sports programs in the area. So why wait?
