The Skeleton Run

Join us for a thrilling, chilling Halloween 5K like no other.

This October, something spooky is coming to the storied grounds of Fort Monmouth. Join the skeleton army as it runs (or walks) through the storied grounds of Fort Monmouth. A skeleton suit will be provided for all runners, but don’t let that stop you from getting in the Halloween spirit. Costumes of all kinds are highly encouraged for all participants.

All participants will receive a skeleton suit, closed course, chip-timed results, and a celebratory beverage at the official after parties at Baseline Social and Birdsmouth Brewing with live music, food, vendors, & more. 

A portion of proceeds from the event will go to a to Lunch Break's Family Promise Center on Fort Monmouth. 

Priority Registration for all 2024 and 2025 participants will open Tuesday, June 16th at 10:00 AM. This is your chance to sign up for yourself and up to three friends at a discounted price before the General On Sale as a thank you for running with us in Years 1 and 2. 

General On Sale will start Thursday, June 18th at 10:00 AM.

The Skeleton Run is created and organized by Beacon Events, the event management company behind other great races such as Asbury Park Santa Run, The Beer Run, Run The Hook, Shamrock N' Roll 5K & more.
