Spooky Sprint 5K 2026

Spooky Sprint 5K is a Halloween-themed running event at White River State Park in Indianapolis, offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, 1 mile, and kids' dash distances. It welcomes families and regular runners alike: the 5K and 10K feature youth pricing, children 12 and under receive a reduced entry fee, and kids 10 and under can participate in the short dash. The 5K, 10K, and half marathon are chip-timed with live results, while the 1 mile and kids' dash are untimed. Race entries include Halloween-themed items such as a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal; the kids' dash provides a mini bib, youth shirt, and crafted medal, with children able to run that dash for free without the extras. Finishers also receive complimentary race photos and treats at the finish line, and a virtual option is available for those who want the shirt and medal but cannot attend in person on race day.
