Get ready for a "spooktacular" road race experience at OctoberFast, a beloved 5K tradition returning to Endicott, NY, on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Hosted by The Chase Pack Running Co., this USATF-certified event has evolved over 44 years to create an exceptional race day for everyone, from first-time runners to competitive athletes. With a spirited Halloween theme, participants are encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere and even don their favorite costumes, adding a dash of party to the competition.

The OctoberFast 5K boasts a flat and fast course, expertly designed for runners aiming for a personal best. The route starts on Argonne Ave, winding through local streets like Shady Drive, Chatham Road, and Buckingham Road, before a loop around River Road and a triumphant finish back on Argonne Ave. Typical race day conditions in mid-October offer crisp autumn weather, with highs around 57°F and lows near 41°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a swift run. Participants can look forward to professional timing, opportunities for cash prizes, and delightful post-race treats. For dedicated participants, the OctoberFast Loyalty Program is an exciting new feature for returning runners.

Join the community for a memorable day celebrating fitness and camaraderie at OctoberFast, where the goal isn't just about speed, but about being truly "OctoberFast".
