About

NYCRUNS Haunted Island 5K is held in New York, New York, on October 25, 2026, and is put on by NYCRUNS. One distance is scheduled: a 5K over 3.1 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m.

City 5Ks are the easiest races to build a season around. You can run one hard without disturbing the rest of your training, and a late-October date sits well inside a fall block pointed at a half or full marathon. To race it properly, spend the preceding month on weekly repeats at 5K effort, 800s or mile repeats with short jogs between, and keep one longer easy run each week. Arrive early enough for fifteen minutes of jogging plus strides, because a 5K is at full effort inside the first quarter mile and there is no easing into it.
