TRICK & TROT CHALLENGE (CLICK HERE)

While we’re retiring the Holiday Beach Series, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new two-race experience for the fall season, the Trick & Trot Challenge consisting of the two Cocoa Beach races.

This race series will continue to bring the fun, community spirit, and challenge you’ve come to expect. Whether you're looking to set a new PR, participate with friends and family, or keep your holiday tradition alive, we hope you'll join us at the starting line.

The Trick & Trot Challenge is a festive 5K race series that combines the spooky fun of Halloween with the heartwarming spirit of Thanksgiving. Participants can join themed races celebrating both holidays, making it a perfect way to stay active and enjoy the season's festivities.
