About Trick or Treat 5K Run

On the Saturday after Halloween, a herd of adults and kids will gather at Bladensburg Waterfront Park to sweat—and scream—for a good cause. Raising money to support children, the Trick or Treat 5K invites participants to dress up in a costume and compete for top honors and fun prizes. Among those rewards is a round-trip ticket to any location on a Southwest flight, given to the top male and female performers. Other awards go to the top three in each age division, best costume for grownups and little ones, and most legs. A party with live music, food and drinks, and sponsor booths greets runners after the race just past the finish line.
