Get ready for a "spooktacular" morning of fitness and fun at the Haunted 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Michael O Buchanon Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This festive event kicks off at 8:00 AM, inviting runners of all levels to embrace the Halloween spirit. Participants are encouraged to showcase their best costumes and look forward to earning a finisher medal upon completion.

The races are set on a gravel course, offering an engaging and unique running experience. Both the 5K and 10K distances utilize an out-and-back course, with the 5K completing it twice and the 10K tackling it four times. For those seeking a greater challenge, the Half Marathon follows an extended out-and-back route, completing six loops to reach the 13.1-mile mark. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, the Half Marathon provides ample opportunity to navigate the course at your own pace. Typical race day conditions in late October in Bowling Green often bring comfortable highs around 68°F and lows around 44°F, with a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. All runners must register online via RunSignup, as on-site registration will not be available.
