Overview

Get ready to sprint into spookiness! The annual Spooky Sprint returns at Creve Coeur Park’s Tremayne Shelter in Maryland Heights. This family-friendly, Halloween-themed event offers a festive range of distances: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Kid’s Dash, and a 1-mile fun run, plus a virtual option.

Race Highlights & Atmosphere

  • Start Time: 8:00 AM CDT (all distances)
  • Celebrate the spooky season with costume-clad participants, themed medals, and a designer shirt included in every in-person registration.
  • Course & Support: Flat, paved park roads through Creve Coeur Park, perfect for all levels. Chip timing, live results, and age-group awards up to masters categories. Aid stations, free finish-line treats, and race photos add to the fun.
  • Swag & Extras: Custom medals for all distances, a soft shirt, complimentary photos, and goodies at the finish line. Under-12 pricing for 5K/10K makes it budget-friendly for kids.
  • Perfect For: Costume contests, family groups, beginner-friendly fun, and runners seeking a seasonal celebration rather than a PR-focused event.
