Spooky Sprint - Springfield 2026

The Spooky Sprint - Springfield is an annual Halloween-themed run held in the Springfield, Missouri area. The start is at Willard High School in Willard. It is designed for families and runners of all abilities, offering a Kids Dash, 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, and a half marathon. A virtual race option is available for those who wish to participate remotely. The race utilizes the Frisco Highline Trail, providing a trail course for the longer distances instead of a road loop.
