Lace up your sneakers, grab your (optional!) costume, and join us for the Wicked 5K, a fun-filled community fundraiser benefiting the Hopkinton Center for the Arts!  Whether you're running for a personal best or strolling with friends and family, every step helps support arts education, performances, exhibitions, scholarships, and community programs that make the arts accessible to all. Your registration is more than a race entry—it’s an investment in creativity and community. Every participant will automatically receive a personal fundraising page. Fundraising isn’t required to participate, but we encourage you to join the fun by sharing your page, creating or joining a team, and competing for prizes along the way. Proceeds from the Wicked 5K directly support the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering joy, belonging, and lifelong learning through the arts. This festive fall tradition features a relatively flat 5K walk/run course along traffic-free roads and groomed gravel trails, making it enjoyable for participants of all ages and abilities. Little goblins and ghouls can get in on the excitement, too, with our 100-meter Wee Wicked Dash, held just before the start of the 5K. Costumes are encouraged, Halloween spirit is welcome, and every mile makes a difference!
