The Bones 5K
The Bones 5K is an inaugural nighttime trail race held in Salisbury, Maryland. Organized by Algonquin Ultras in partnership with Wicomico Recreation & Parks, the event takes place on October 30, 2026. The race is designed as a family-friendly way to begin Halloween weekend, featuring a course decorated for the holiday.
The event consists of a single distance:
- 5 km trail race
The route is set within a wooded environment and utilizes single-track trails. Participants will encounter terrain that includes sandy sections and root-covered grounds. Because the race takes place after dark, all runners are required to bring and use a headlamp or flashlight to navigate the course.
The event provides professional chip timing for all participants. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three male and female youth finishers. Additionally, there are awards for the best individual and group costumes. Registration includes an exclusive long-sleeved shirt for those who sign up by the guaranteed deadline of October 21.
Packet pickup is available at the Wicomico Civic Center box office in the days leading up to the race or at the event location on the evening of the run. This event operates rain or shine, and dogs are not permitted on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
