Spooky Sprint - Tampa

Spooky Sprint - Tampa is held in Largo, Florida, on October 25, 2026, and starts everything together at 8:00 a.m.: a 10K, a 5K, a 1-mile run and a Kids Dash. The name and the date point to a Halloween-themed morning in the Tampa Bay area.

With four distances on one gun, this works well for a group with mixed abilities, though a shared start means the shorter-distance runners will be swept along quickly in the opening minutes, so know your pace before you line up. The 10K is the one that demands real preparation: six to eight weeks of aerobic running plus a weekly tempo effort. For the mile and the 5K, sharpness matters more than volume.
