Halloween Races That Are a Spooky Good Time

Whether you’re in the thick of marathon season, or buried under a pile of bite-sized candy bars, these Halloween races are sure to get you in the holiday spirit and give you a delightfully frightful respite from daily training.

To truly enjoy these spooktacular events, plan to go all out with your costumes, and don’t worry about being aerodynamic—you probably won’t be setting any PRs. Instead, you may find yourself lugging a plump pumpkin along the course, running from gruesome ghosts, or dodging zany zombies.

If you were tricked into doing one of these runs, treat yourself to an apple cider or pumpkin beer at the end of the race. No matter what, we know you’ll have wicked fun from start to finish.
