Spooky Sprint- St. Louis

Spooky Sprint- St. Louis is an annual Halloween-themed endurance event in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 24, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K, the one-mile and the Kids Dash all start at 8 a.m. Entrants receive a branded shirt and a custom medal, and the race provides timing with live results, free photos and treats at the finish. A virtual option is offered for those who cannot attend, youth pricing applies to the 5K and 10K, and family activities fill out the morning.

Five distances on one start line make this a genuine group entry: the Kids Dash and one-mile take minutes, while the half is a real fall goal race. If you are running 13.1, treat the shared start as a pacing trap and settle into your rhythm by the second mile. Twelve weeks of consistent running with a weekly long run is the preparation that matters most.
