Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor

Spooky Sprint - Ann Arbor is a Halloween-themed morning in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on October 24, 2026, suited to every age. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K, the one-mile and the Kids Dash all start at 9 a.m. Entrants receive a branded shirt, a personalized bib and a medal, plus chip timing with live results, free photos and treats at the finish. A virtual option exists for anyone who cannot be there in person. Parking costs 10 dollars unless you hold an annual RSU pass, and youth pricing applies to the 5K and 10K.

Personalized bibs need a registration deadline, so enter early rather than on race week. The 9 a.m. start is late enough that you can drive in the same morning and still warm up properly. For the half, count back 12 weeks and anchor the plan on a weekly long run; for the 10K or 5K, add a weekly interval session in the final month.
