Friends of the Crawford Swimming Pool Spooky 5k Fun Run

Friends of the Crawford Swimming Pool Spooky 5k Fun Run is held in Crawford, Nebraska, on October 31, 2026. The 5K fun run starts at 10:00 a.m. and a kids' fun run follows an hour later at 11:00 a.m., which makes for a relaxed Halloween morning rather than an early alarm.

Late starts like this one are easy to prepare for: eat breakfast normally, keep drinking through the morning, and warm up in the twenty minutes before the gun rather than an hour ahead. The 5K is billed as a fun run, so walking sections of it is entirely in keeping with the day, though anyone wanting to race 3.1 miles will find the distance short enough to run hard from the start. The kids' run gives younger family members their own turn.
