Spooktacular 5K & Monster Mile

Spooktacular 5K & Monster Mile is held in Huntsville, Alabama, on October 31, 2026, and is organized by Fleet Feet Huntsville & Madison. The 5K, 3.1 miles, goes off at 8:00 a.m., the Monster Mile follows at 9:00 a.m., and a combined entry covering both is listed at 6 km, roughly 3.7 miles. Packet pickup is at the Fleet Feet store, parking is in a nearby garage, and the morning closes with awards and a costume contest judged in several creative categories.

Running the 5K and the Mile back to back is a good day's work but not a punishing one, provided you treat the second race as what it is: a fast mile on tired legs. Use the hour between them to jog easily and stay warm rather than sitting down. If you are only doing one, the Mile rewards raw speed and the 5K rewards a month of steady, repeatable running.
