Andover Norton Commission Trick or Trot 5K Run/Walk

Andover Norton Commission Trick or Trot 5K Run/Walk takes place in Andover, Connecticut, on October 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The single 5K covers 3.1 miles, is chip-timed, and comes with a Halloween costume contest and treats handed out along the course. Prizes are awarded for the most creative, cutest, funniest and best overall costumes, plus a category for team and group outfits.

Chip timing means the result is honest even in a crowded start, so if you want a real number for your 5K fitness this counts as a proper race despite the costumes. If you are dressing up, test the outfit on a training run first — masks and capes are more restrictive at race effort than they look. Proceeds support the Norton Children's Fund, which helps local families and funds scholarships.
