5K versenyek Dell Rapids közelében

Spooky Sprint Sioux Falls is a nighttime Halloween-themed race at Camp Leif Ericson, centered on a dark-woods scare route rather than a standard road run. Participants can select a 5K, while walkers have a 1-mile option for a less intense version of the same eerie setup. The event welcomes all ages, though children must be accompanied by an adult, and all attendees should anticipate being scared. The 5K takes runners through the woods with creatures from Terror 29 pursuing them along the route. The 1-mile walk offers a spooky stroll for those seeking scares without intense exertion. Costumes are permitted, screaming is encouraged, and flashlights are optional, though the event humorously notes they offer little defense against monsters. The atmosphere leans more toward a haunted attraction than a typical fun run, captured by its tagline: “Run Fast. Don't Look Back.”

The course follows a local bike trail, accessible after a short walk from the Cherapa Place area. Penguins or flags indicate the path, and signs mark the turnaround points for each distance. Costumes are encouraged, with a prize awarded for the best one, and the race welcomes participants up to age 99.
