Event summary
Get ready for a fun-filled morning at the Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department 5K Beer Costume Run on Saturday, October 31, 2026! This unique event kicks off at 7:30 AM in the heart of Staplehurst, Nebraska, and promises a blend of laughter, creativity, and community spirit. Participants will not only tackle a 5K race but do so in their most outrageous costumes—think bananas, cowboys, or even Bigfoot!

Whether you're in it for the competition or just looking to enjoy a morning filled with small-town charm and memorable moments, this is one Halloween event you won't want to miss. Gather your friends, don your silliest outfit, and prepare for a morning of questionable running strategies and great stories while supporting your local fire department!
