Registration for the Spooktacular Almost 4 Mile Fun Run runs $30 to $40. Held on October 17, 2026, in Manasquan, New Jersey, this running event starts at 11:00 AM and launches from 217 1st Avenue. Participants can choose between a 2-mile or 4-mile distance, making it accessible for runners of varying fitness levels. Whether you're looking for a shorter route or a longer challenge, both options provide a structured racing experience in a coastal New Jersey setting. The mid-morning start time works well for athletes who prefer to race earlier in the day without an predawn wake-up call.

From the Race Organizer
Spooktacular is back for its 12th year! This (almost) 4-mile course starts at the corner of First Ave and East Main Street. The first mile winds through the historic Manasquan Inlet with river views, then opens onto the boardwalk and the ocean. From there it turns inland toward Stockton Lake before heading back through the Norman Rockwell streets at the center of town. You'll finish at historic Leggett's, a Manasquan staple since 1935. If 4 miles is too much, there's a 2-mile walk with the same start and finish. 100% of proceeds support adults on the autism spectrum, 21 and older, in accredited programs that build the skills and job placements they need to live independent, purposeful lives. A big thank you to our partner, Leggett's Sand Bar!
