Haunted Halloween 5K - Run & Walk

Haunted Halloween 5K - Run & Walk takes place in Adrian, Michigan, on October 31, 2026. A 5K run and a separate 5K walk, both 3.1 miles, start together at 8:30 a.m., and a children's fun run rounds out a family-oriented morning.

Having the walk listed as its own event matters more than it sounds: you are not chasing a cutoff or dodging faster traffic, so a family can spread across the formats and still finish around the same time. If you are racing the run, keep your warm-up brief in the cool of an early start and open at a pace you could hold for twenty minutes. If you are walking, a steady arm swing and a slightly quicker cadence will take several minutes off a casual pace without leaving you sore.
