Spooky Sprint Cincinnati

Spooky Sprint Cincinnati is held in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 25, 2026, with three road distances on offer in the heart of the city: a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The event runs on a Halloween theme in an urban setting.

Having a 5K, a 10K and a half on the same day makes this a good target race for a club or a group of friends training together at different levels. The half is the one that needs planning, ideally a twelve-week build with the long run reaching eleven miles and a few weeks of running at your intended race pace. For the 10K, focus instead on threshold work: one tempo run a week does most of the job.
