The Haunted 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon at Heritage Harbor Park in Bradenton, Florida, offers four running distances on the same morning, all themed for Halloween.

The half marathon utilizes a 3.28-mile out-and-back course four times, and the marathon repeats this same route eight times. All finishers earn medals, and costume awards complement the Haunted theme. The event also contributes to series points for participants in the broader race series.
