Event Details
Registration is now open for the 2026 HoBOOken 5K Halloween Run and Scary Scurry Kids Run, returning to Pier A in Hoboken on Sunday, October 25. Hosted by The Hoboken Shelter, the annual event has grown into Hoboken’s largest 5K race, attracting more than 2,000 runners in 2025.
To mark the launch, The Hoboken Shelter is offering a one-day registration special on Saturday, April 25, with both adult and children’s race entries available for $10.25 per runner. Standard 5K registration is typically $60, making this the lowest price expected to be offered this year. The offer runs online all day Saturday until 11:59 pm.
The Halloween-themed, costumed event features a USATF Certified 5K course through Hoboken, race T-shirts, medals, digital swag bags, and access to the official Race Village.
Proceeds from the event benefit The Hoboken Shelter and its mission to end hunger and homelessness one person at a time. Registration is available at HoBOOken5K.com.
