Tallahassee Trick or Trot, 5k and Fun Run

Tallahassee Trick or Trot, 5k and Fun Run is run in Tallahassee, Florida, on October 31, 2026. Both events start together at 8:00 a.m.: a one-mile fun run and a 5K covering 3.1 miles, which makes for a short morning either way and leaves the rest of Halloween open.

If this is going on your calendar as a goal race, six weeks is a comfortable runway. Keep three or four runs a week, make one of them a session of hard repetitions and another slightly longer than 3.1 miles so the distance feels familiar, then make the final week lighter rather than harder. On the morning itself, arrive early enough for fifteen minutes of jogging: a 5K gives you no time to ease in, and a proper warm-up is worth more seconds than any last-minute training.
