Witch City 5K

The Witch City 5K Road Race is held annually at Salem Willows Park in Salem, Massachusetts. This 5-kilometer race offers participants a unique experience running through the haunted streets of Salem, embracing the city's spooky spirit with ghouls, ghosts, and goblins in theme. Organized by the Salem YMCA, the event supports community programs such as swim safety, childcare, and youth development.

Runners receive timing services and swag like tee shirts while supplies last. Awards are given to top finishers across various age groups, including categories for nonbinary and wheelchair participants, as well as special prizes for Salem residents.
