EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready for a hauntingly good time at the Haunted 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at Stockstill Park in scenic Branson, MO. This popular event invites runners to embrace the Halloween spirit, encouraging costumes for a truly "spooktacular atmosphere". Participants can choose their challenge from three distances: a 5K, a 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M).
The course itself features a smooth, out-and-back asphalt route, utilizing the paved pathways of Stockstill Park. Runners will complete multiple loops of a 2.18-mile segment, with the 5K covering two loops, the 10K four loops, and the Half Marathon six loops. While Branson is known for its hills, the park's trails, which connect to the Roark Creek Trail, are generally described as a "fairly flat" experience for walking and biking, offering pleasant views of the creek and surrounding woods. Typical race day conditions in early October offer ideal running weather, with highs around 74°F and lows around 49°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation.
All finishers will be awarded a commemorative medal to celebrate their achievement. The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup starting 30 minutes prior. Convenient restrooms are available near the playground, close to the starting line, ensuring a comfortable experience for all participants. Remember, registration must be completed online via RunSignup, as there is no on-site registration.
