Frightening 2 & 4 Miler

Frightening 2 & 4 Miler is held in Evansville, Indiana, on October 25, 2026. The listed format is a 5K run/walk starting at 11:00 a.m., on the weekend before Halloween. An 11:00 a.m. start is later than most fall road races, which gives you an unhurried morning and plenty of time to prepare on site.

For a 5K that late start is more help than hindrance: you can eat a normal breakfast, arrive without rushing, and do 10 to 15 minutes of easy jogging plus a few strides before the gun. If you are racing, that warm-up is worth more than anything you do in the final training week. If you are walking, simply turn up ready to cover 3.1 miles.
