Spooky Sprint - Greater Chicago

Spooky Sprint - Greater Chicago is a Halloween-themed race weekend in Darien, Illinois, on October 25, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K, one-mile and kids dash all start at 9 a.m. Entrants get a custom bib, a designer shirt and a finisher medal, with chip timing, live results, awards, free photos and treats at the finish. A virtual option is available for anyone who cannot be there in person.

Chip timing and live results make this a practical choice when you want a number that counts rather than just a morning out. Take the half if you have been building through the fall and want a real measuring stick, the 10K or 5K if you are sharpening speed, and the untimed kids dash if the youngest members of the family want a bib of their own. Youth pricing keeps the shorter distances affordable.
