The Bones 5k

Celebrate Halloween at the Brand-New Bones 5K!

Kick off your Halloween weekend with a one-of-a-kind nighttime trail race! Join us on Friday, October 30th, the night before Halloween, for the inaugural Bones 5K at Pemberton Historical Park in Salisbury, Maryland. The race starts at 7:00 p.m., giving you the chance to experience the park after dark in a fun, festive atmosphere. Come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume, strap on your headlamp or flashlight, and bring the whole family! The course features everything that makes Pemberton such a favorite—winding single-track trails, sandy sections, root-covered trails, and beautiful wooded scenery that become even more magical at night. We’ll have the forest decorated for Halloween, and while you may run into a few surprises along the way, this event is designed to be family-friendly, with plenty of fun and very few frights. We’ll have professional chip timing, prizes for the best costumes, and an unforgettable evening for runners and walkers of all abilities. Register early to guarantee your exclusive Bones 5K shirt, featuring a fun skeleton-inspired design to celebrate the inaugural event. The Bones 5K is proudly presented by Algonquin Ultras in partnership with Wicomico County Recreation & Parks, bringing the same community spirit and trail-running excitement you’ve come to love from the Pemberton 24 to a Halloween celebration everyone can enjoy.
