Coyote Classic 5K (CC5K) Howlween Edition

Coyote Classic 5K (CC5K) Howlween Edition takes place in Fort Mill, South Carolina, on October 31, 2026. There is one distance on the schedule, the CC5K, and it starts at 9:00 a.m. on Halloween morning.

A 9:00 a.m. start is civil enough that you can eat something light beforehand and still digest it: aim for a small carbohydrate breakfast around two hours out, then just water. The 5K itself asks for a short, sharp preparation rather than long mileage, so three or four runs a week with one faster session will serve you better than piling on distance. If you are racing in costume, do a test run in it first, since anything loose tends to catch the wind over 3.1 miles.
