Collinsville Trick or Trot

Collinsville Trick or Trot is run in Canton, Connecticut, on October 31, 2026, with one 5K starting at 8:30 a.m. The Halloween date and the name give away the tone: costumes are as welcome as race kit on this one.

New England in late October is close to ideal racing weather, cool enough that you can run hard without overheating and warm enough that you do not need much more than a long-sleeve top and gloves. That makes a fall 5K a good place to test your fitness before the winter. Warm up properly, because cold muscles at 8:30 a.m. do not respond well to a fast first mile. If you are here for the costumes instead, walkers will find 3.1 miles very manageable.
