Get ready for a spooktacular start to your Halloween festivities at the Foundry Halloween 5K, taking place on Saturday, October 31, 2026, in the majestic Rocky Mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This family-friendly 5K event is a highlight of the Steamboat Springs Running Series, offering a unique blend of scenic running and festive fun. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 55F and lows around 25F, and a low 7% chance of precipitation, providing crisp autumn air for your dash.

The course itself presents a delightful challenge, winding through a mix of trail and road that begins and ends at Soda Creek Elementary School. You'll navigate the "colorful and spooky Butcher Knife Creek" before heading up Spring Creek and turning around at a picturesque pond on this out-and-back route. Keep an eye out for "zombies and goblins" along the way, adding a playful twist to the experience. While there are no aid stations on this 5K course, the lively atmosphere and beautiful mountain backdrop will keep you energized.

What truly sets the Foundry Halloween 5K apart is its vibrant, community-focused spirit. Halloween costumes are highly encouraged for all participants, and leashed dogs are also welcome to join in the fun. After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with Halloween treats, apple bobbing, face painting, and games for the whole family. Beyond the festivities, this race proudly benefits Foundry Steamboat Springs, supporting their vital work in providing integrative recovery programs.
