Fall Fun 5K and Trick or Treat Trot!

Fall Fun 5K and Trick or Treat Trot! is held in Gahanna, Ohio, on October 31, 2026. The Trick or Treat Trot, a shorter untimed companion run, sets off at 9:00 a.m., and the Fall Fun 5K, 3.1 miles, follows fifteen minutes later at 9:15 a.m.

Fifteen minutes between the two starts is tight but workable if you plan to do both: jog the trot easily, keep moving afterwards, and be back on the line rather than sitting down. For anyone focused on the 5K alone, the distance rewards a specific kind of fitness, namely repeated hard efforts of three to five minutes once a week for a month with the rest of your running easy. A late-October 5K also slots neatly into a build toward a winter half marathon.
