Spooky Sprint Columbus

Spooky Sprint Columbus is held in Lewis Center, Ohio, on October 24, 2026, with three distances: a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The route runs through a public park and is dressed with Halloween-themed decorations along the way.

Three distances on one morning make this easy to match to whatever shape your fall has taken. If training has gone well, the half is the goal-race option and rewards a 12-week build with a long run reaching 11 miles or so. If it has been patchy, the 10K asks far less and still gives you a real effort. The 5K works for a first race or for anyone who came along for the atmosphere rather than the clock. Running inside a park keeps you away from traffic, which makes it easier to hold a rhythm from start to finish.
