Spooky Sprint St. Louis is a Halloween-themed running event in the St. Louis area offering distances for nearly all types of participants: a kids dash, untimed 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon, virtual race, and a Volunteer then Run option. It is designed for families as much as runners aiming for a specific time, with youth pricing for the 5k and 10k and a free kids dash option for children not wanting the shirt and medal package. The in-person races begin together in the morning, with packet pickup beforehand and live results available post-race. The timed events use chip timing and include awards, while the 1 mile and kids dash remain low-pressure. Registrations typically include a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal, with a mini bib and youth-sized shirt for the kids dash. Finish-line treats, free race photos, and the virtual option contribute to a casual holiday run atmosphere rather than a competitive race-day production.

The St. Louis Hot Cider Hustle is an October running event offering 5K and 10K distances, along with virtual 5K and 10K options for those who prefer to run elsewhere.

The available facts do not list specific streets or landmarks on the course, but the format is clear: select the 5K or 10K distance, run it in person or virtually, and conclude with cider-themed giveaways. Families are welcome, as the event features an untimed 12-and-under kids' division that includes its own bib, mug, caramel apple, and hot apple cider.

The Saint Louis Half Marathon and 5K begins and ends at the Muny Festival Grounds in Forest Park, providing both races a focused starting and finishing area within one of St. Louis’s most utilized public parks. Organized by the St. Louis Track Club, this autumn road race features a half marathon and a 5K. It employs an open-start window following each official gun start, allowing runners to cross the start line individually rather than in a mass start. First held in 1980, it holds the distinction of being the longest-running half marathon in the St. Louis area. The event provides a traditional road race structure, prioritizing the competition over a festival atmosphere. All finishers receive custom medals, prize money is awarded to the top three male and female half marathon finishers, and age-group awards extend through 70+. Overall awards are also given to the top 5K runners. A virtual participation option is offered for those unable to attend Forest Park in person.
