Creep ‘N Crawl Half 5K Lil’ Monsters Dash

Creep ‘N Crawl Half 5K Lil’ Monsters Dash is held in Little Rock, Arkansas, on October 31, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 8 a.m. and the 5K follows at 9 a.m., with a half-mile Lil Monsters Kids Dash for the youngest entrants. The Halloween date and the name set the tone for the morning.

A road half marathon at the end of October is a natural target race: the summer heat is gone, and a full training block fits neatly between late summer and race day. If it is your first attempt at the distance, aim for about twelve weeks of consistent running with one long run each week that grows toward eleven miles. The 5K, an hour later, gives anyone in the family a shorter option, and the kids dash keeps the youngest runners involved without asking much of them.
