Boo Run - Sarasota, FL

Boo Run - Sarasota, FL is run in Sarasota, Florida, on October 31, 2026. The event offers a single format, a 5K with an 8:00 a.m. start, which keeps the whole morning short and puts you back home well before the Halloween evening gets going.

An early gun time on the Florida Gulf Coast is a gift in late October, since it keeps you ahead of the warmest part of the day. Expect flat road running, which makes this a sensible target if you want to see what you can do over 3.1 miles rather than survive a climb. Build toward it with three or four easy runs a week and one faster session, and practice your goal pace in the days beforehand so the opening half mile does not run away from you.
