To Infinity & Beyond Halloween 5K

To Infinity & Beyond Halloween 5K is put on by the Rockland Road Runners in Valley Cottage, New York, on October 31, 2026, in memory of Jordyn Seidenfrau. The 5K, 3.1 miles, starts at 9:45 a.m. Proceeds go to the Jordyn Seiden Memorial Fund, which supports children and young adults facing mental health difficulties. Costumes are welcome and judged in a contest, and a marching band and a DJ play through the morning.

A running club organizing its own race usually means an honest 5K, so it is worth treating as a real effort rather than a jog. The 9:45 a.m. start also gives you a full morning to prepare: eat two to three hours ahead, jog for ten minutes, add a few strides. Newcomers can walk parts of it without concern, since a family field at this hour moves at every pace.
