Prepare for a "spooktacular" running experience at the Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1, and 26.2 races in Augusta, GA, on Saturday, October 24, 2026. This Halloween-themed event caters to all abilities, offering distances ranging from a fun 5K to a challenging full marathon. Runners will navigate an engaging out-and-back course within the picturesque Ann Boardman Park, providing a beautiful autumn backdrop for your efforts. The 5K and 10K feature one and two loops of this scenic route, respectively, while half marathoners will complete four loops and full marathoners eight.
Embrace the festive spirit by donning your most creative costume, as a "Best Costume" contest adds an extra layer of fun to the race day. Every finisher will be rewarded with a unique themed medal to commemorate their achievement. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 76°F and lows around 55°F, and only a 9% chance of precipitation, the weather should be ideal for running.
The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup available starting 30 minutes before the race near the Mill Village Trailhead, located at 109 Eve St, Augusta. Convenient parking is available at the trailhead and by Ann Boardman Park. Remember to register online in advance, as on-site registration will not be available. This event also contributes points towards the US Road Running Race Series, making it a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself and enjoy a vibrant, friendly atmosphere.
