Race Information
The Haunted Half Marathon is Utah's favorite Halloween costume party run. RUN, INDULGE, PARTY! Participants are invited to dress up in their best non-chafing costume and get ready to run for their lives… and treats, of course. Choose the Half Marathon, 5K, or Kids 1/2 Mile course that’s fun for Monsters big and small. The party begins at the Sugarhouse Park, then along the beautiful downhill course, and just when you think you can’t take anymore the Fear Factory Finish is there to give you that much-needed boost. After you've survived the race, enjoy the celebration area with music, food, games, contests, and spooky fun things!
