On October 30, 2026, the USS Hornet Halloween 5K takes place in Alameda, California at 707 West Hornet Avenue. Despite its name, the race offers a 1-mile distance rather than a traditional 5K, making it accessible for runners seeking a shorter event. The race starts at 6:30 PM, positioning it as an evening affair. Entry fees range from $25 to $55 depending on registration options. The Halloween theme suggests a festive atmosphere tied to the date, though specific course details and amenities are not available. If you're traveling to Alameda for this event, consider booking accommodation near the waterfront venue for convenient race-day logistics.

From the Race Organizer
Event Details: October 30th. Friday pre-halloween Evening Run We have partnered with the USS Hornet to bring back a super fun and unique race experience to Alameda. Our "day of the dead" Twilight Run we did a few years ago is back, just moving the date slightly to coincide with Halloween. The event will still benefit the USS Hornet Museum and will start at 6:30pm. Sunset is scheduled that evening for 6:12pm, so headlamps are recommended but we will have lights on the course. Costume highly recommended and encouraged! The run will take you for a scenic loop around Alameda Point, starting and finishing at the Pier. Runners will enjoy views of San Francisco, spirit alley and the estuary shoreline along the flat and fast 5k course. There will be our normal beer garden, food, music and Age Group awards THERE IS NO KIDS RUN FOR 2026 - DUE TO TRAFFIC CONCERNS ON FRIDAY NIGHT. There is plenty of parking at the Hornet and around Alameda Point.
