Boos & Brews 5K (Syracuse)

Saturday, October 24, 2026Baldwinsville, NY5K

Get ready for a spooktacular time at the Boos & Brews 5K, a Halloween-themed race that perfectly blends fitness with festive fun. This popular haunted event has sold out for three consecutive years, prompting the addition of a second start time for 2026 to accommodate more runners. Participants are highly encouraged to wear costumes, with a dedicated contest featuring prizes for the best, most unique, and scariest outfits. After crossing the finish line, runners can celebrate at the post-race party at WT Brews, featuring beer specials, homemade cookies, and signature 'Ghoulash.' Every finisher earns a custom medal, and all participants receive a collectible long-sleeve shirt. This event proudly supports the Baldwinsville Meals On Wheels, making every step count for a great cause.
