YMCA of Pueblo Spooky Sprint 5K

YMCA of Pueblo Spooky Sprint 5K is a Halloween-themed race at the YMCA in Pueblo, Colorado, on October 24, 2026. The event is built around a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 5:00 p.m., and it is open to all ages and ability levels. Costumes are encouraged and are a real part of the event, giving runners room to be creative, and awards go to the top male, female and junior finishers.

Because it starts late in the afternoon, this one asks for a different rhythm than a morning race: eat your main meal early, keep the afternoon calm, and warm up 15 minutes before the start. Fall weather in the area can vary, including rain and mud, so bring a change of clothes and shoes with some grip. If you want to race it seriously, a costume that breathes and does not restrict your arms is worth planning in advance rather than on race morning.
