About the race
Cats & Bats Haunted 5K is held at Festival Park in Aberdeen, MD. The event offers a live 5K, a 1-mile fun run (untimed), and a Virtual 5K, catering to local and non-local runners. The USATF-certified, flat-and-fast course is billed as the area’s spookiest pre-Halloween running experience.
Participants receive a custom commemorative finisher’s medal, a shirt, chip timing, post-race food and drinks, and age-group and overall awards. Proceeds benefit The National PTSD Foundation. Packet pickup is on race day.
The event also supports in-person and virtual participation, with rain-or-shine conditions and a festive Halloween atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
