You'll find the 2021 Dayton Ghost N Goblin 5k, presented by the Ohio River Road Runners Club (ORRRC), the best & biggest Halloween-themed road race in town!

The race will be held Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at 6:30pm at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, OH.

We're celebrating the return to in-person racing with our first ever Finisher's Medal!

All registrants will also receive an awesome shirt and be automatically entered to win raffle prizes. The costume contest is back live!

Packet Pickup will be on RACE DAY ONLY, Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at Welcome Stadium. Hours are 12:30pm-6:00pm

We'll have some special giveaways to kick off packet pickup, so come early for more chances to win cool stuff!

If you can't be in Dayton on October 19, or would feel more comfortable participating virtually, we'd love to have you "join" us that way!

The virtual registration fee includes the cost of shipping - there is NO in-person pickup option for virtual participants. Your shirt and medal will be shipped together and should arrive shortly after race day.

A link is included at the top of the page to enter your results starting October 17, 2021.

This year's race shirts are a performance long sleeve shirt - 100% polyester, moisture-wicking, and breathable.

Shirt sizes:
Available this year in Youth XS-XL and Adult XS-4XL, so you're nearly guaranteed to get the perfect fit!

What's a Halloween run without a costume contest? Dress up in your best costume, enter the contest before the race, and be eligible for some great prizes!

We also have many, many raffle prizes that have been generously donated, and all registered participants are eligible.

In line with the mission of the Ohio River Road Runners Club, the Dayton Ghost 'n Goblin 5k will benefit local school running programs.

The Ghost 'n Goblin™ 5k is all about fun, but this is where we have to be a little strict (for everyone's safety and enjoyment of the event).

The Ghost 'n Goblin™ 5k will not issue refunds for race entry fees, nor any other fees associated with the race. Each participant accepts that risk upon paying their entry fee. We will not offer complimentary race entries to a future race. We use all money collected for the race to develop and produce the event (including race supplies, infrastructure, and administration) and the proceeds benefit the non-profit Ohio River Road Runner's Club.

We pledge to make every effort to produce a fair, safe, fun, and exciting event for everyone. Any decisions we make for safety, fairness, or any other reason will not warrant a refund to any participant.
