Academie Musique's Boo Run 5K and Family Fun Run

Academie Musique's Boo Run 5K and Family Fun Run takes place in Temple, Texas, on October 31, 2026, with both events starting together at 10 a.m. The 5k Boo Run covers 3.1 miles, and the Family Mile Walk/Run offers a single mile for anyone who wants a shorter option, including children and first-timers.

Running the two formats off the same gun means a family can enter together and regroup at the finish. For the 5K, a mid-morning start is generous: you have time to eat breakfast, warm up and shake out the legs before racing. Four to six weeks of steady running three or four times a week is enough to get around comfortably, and adding one faster session a week is what turns a finish into a time you are pleased with.
