Spooky Sprint - Colorado Springs

Spooky Sprint - Colorado Springs takes place in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on October 31, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K, the one-mile run and the kids dash all start at 8:00 a.m. This annual Halloween-themed event suits all ages and includes a designer shirt, a custom medal, electronic timing with live results, free photos and treats at the finish. Younger entrants get reduced pricing, and a virtual option is open to anyone who cannot attend.

Colorado Springs sits high enough that visitors should expect their usual paces to feel harder than at home, so build a little margin into your goal and drink well in the days before. For the half, sixteen weeks of steady mileage with one weekly long run is a sound approach; for the shorter formats, consistency matters more than any single hard session.
