Wicked Spooky 5K Asheville, NC   Oct 31, 2026

Get into the Halloween spirit with the Wicked Spooky 5k & the Creepy Crawly Climb! This race starts and finishes at Wicked Weed’s Funktatorium on the South Slope of Downtown Asheville.

*New this year* We’ve added a kid’s Creepy Crawly Climb! The climb starts/finishes in the same location as the 5k on Coxe Avenue. The course goes up to the intersection of Coxe & Hillard (closed to traffic) and back down. It’s approximately .25 mile. 

Show off your most creative, terrifying, or quirky costume for a chance to win great prizes. Whether you’re a spooky monster, a mystical creature, or a pop culture icon, this is your chance to shine!

Raise your spirits (pun intended) with your choice of a delicious Wicked Weed craft beer (21+) OR an N/A beverage! Also included in race registration are: a Finisher Medal, Long Sleeve Race Shirt, Donation to MountainTrue, & Chip Timing.

This race proudly supports MountainTrue! MountainTrue champions resilient forests, clean waters, and healthy communities in the Southern Blue Ridge. A portion of race proceeds will be donated to MountainTrue. You’re welcome to add on an additional donation during your registration process.
