Secaucus Trick or Trot 5K Run/Walk 2026 — Secaucus, New Jersey

Celebrate Halloween with the Secaucus Trick or Trot 5K, a vibrant family tradition that combines fitness and festive fun on one of New Jersey’s most engaging courses. Whether you’re an avid runner chasing your personal best or simply looking to enjoy the morning with friends and loved ones in costume, this event has something for everyone.
The race takes place along a USATF Certified 5K course (Certification #: NJ22001DB), offering runners a fast-paced, paved route that winds through scenic areas of Secaucus. The unique loop configuration ensures an exciting challenge with minimal elevation changes and plenty of opportunities to push your limits or maintain a steady pace.
As you make your way around the certified track, anticipate live music from a DJ setting the tone for a spirited atmosphere. Once you cross the finish line, don’t forget to grab some candy as part of the celebratory treats awaiting all participants. The event also features numerous photo opportunities and local vendors offering unique products and services.
Families can look forward to an inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to dress up in their best Halloween costumes for a chance at special awards like Best Individual, Family/Group Costume, or Most Creative. Age group winners will be recognized across various categories from under 14 through the age of 85+, along with top male and female overall finishers.
For those who can’t attend in person but still want to contribute their efforts towards community support, a virtual option is available between October 24–31. Completing your race wherever you are—be it at home on a treadmill or out exploring new trails—and submitting your results online will earn you official participation status and potentially even a finisher medal.
Proceeds from the event go directly to supporting local first responders, recreation programs, health initiatives, and future community events in Secaucus. So whether participating physically or virtually, every stride contributes positively towards building stronger communities within New Jersey. Join us this Halloween for an unforgettable day filled with joyous competition and heartfelt camaraderie!
