The Spooky Sprint in Caledonia, Michigan, southeast of Grand Rapids, is a Halloween-themed running event held annually at Caledonia High School. It offers a variety of race options, including a kids dash, an untimed 1-mile run, a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a virtual race. A unique 'Volunteer then Run' entry is also available, allowing families and runners of all distances to participate together. The 5K, 10K, and half marathon feature chip timing, live results, awards, a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The 1-mile run, though untimed, includes the main race's merchandise. The kids dash is designed for children 10 and under, providing a mini bib, youth shirt, and kids medal; children can participate in the dash without charge on race day if they forgo the swag. Finish-line treats and complimentary participant photos enhance the Halloween atmosphere, and the virtual race allows participation from any location while still receiving the shirt and medal.
