The HoBOOken 5K Halloween Run and Scary Scurry Kid’s Run is right around the corner—this Saturday, October 29^th. The race serves as the biggest fundraising event of the year for the Hoboken Shelter.

Last year, more than 1,700 runners—including many kids—participated in this fun waterfront race in Hoboken. The goal is to raise more than $55,000 through sponsors, participants and donors, after a total of $50,000 was raised last year for the Hoboken Shelter!

The HoBOOken 5K Halloween Run is a great day for kids and runners, with awards for costumes in various categories—including male, female, group, couple and creative.

Registration closes on October 26^th.

The HoBOOken 5K Halloween Run begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by the kids’ race at 11:00 a.m. near Pier A Park in Hoboken.
