Get ready for a spooktacular running experience at the Southern Utah Halloween Half Marathon, 5K, and Relay, set to unfold on October 24, 2026, in scenic Hurricane, UT! This festive, family-friendly road race offers participants a unique blend of fitness and Halloween fun, starting and finishing at the charming Fisher Family Farm. The course itself is an all-road, paved loop winding through the picturesque farmlands of Hurricane, offering pleasant scenery as you run. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 74F and lows around 44F, coupled with a low 3% chance of precipitation, making for ideal autumn running weather.
What truly sets this event apart is its immersive Halloween theme, built around a distinctive lap-based format. The 5K is a single loop, culminating with a sweet reward as runners collect a piece of candy at the finish line. For those tackling the Half Marathon (13.1M), the challenge involves completing four laps, with an exciting twist: each lap includes a stop at a dedicated "Trick-or-Treat station" where runners collect a piece of candy to carry to the finish. Teams of up to four can join the Relay, deciding whether to split the laps or run together for the candy-collecting adventure. Past participants have raved about the "super fun" atmosphere and the enjoyment of seeing various costumes, with one account even mentioning a tunnel where surprises await to add to the Halloween spirit.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking for a memorable, festive outing, the Southern Utah Halloween Half Marathon, 5K, and Relay promises an engaging and sweet experience for runners of all ages and abilities. All races kick off at 8:00 AM from the Fisher Family Farm, located at 1162 W 3000 S, providing a central hub for all the day's spooky festivities. Embrace the spirit of Halloween, lace up your running shoes (and maybe a costume!), and collect some treats along the way in this one-of-a-kind race.
