Leah's Spooktacular 5K Run/Walk

Leah's 5K Run/Walk and the 1K Kids "Spooktacular" Fun Run take place in Wappingers Falls, New York, at 5 Van Wyck Lane. The event features two distances: a 5K Run/Walk and a 1K kids’ run open to ages 12 and under. Now in its 11th year, it's billed as the original Halloween run for Dutchess County and emphasizes a festive, costume-friendly atmosphere, including a costume contest with prizes.

All 1K finishers receive medals, and there are top prizes for the 5K plus age-group awards. Proceeds benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, supporting blood cancer patients and their families and supporters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
