Key West Halloween Half Marathon

The concept for our Halloween running events were born in early 2009. We were looking for a unique “hook” to add into a traditional running event. We figured there were plenty of running events out there so we wanted to create a unique experience for the runners. The light bulb in our heads lit up once the October timeframe came into play…. Halloween! Even as adults, when the calendar turns the page to October, Halloween comes to mind. The marriage of Halloween, costume themes, and a running event quickly came together! From the outset we decided that each year would feature a different traditional Halloween character. The artwork for the event, the medals, and the shirt would incorporate the Halloween character. To date we have used bats, vampires, skeletons, zombies, and werewolves. We are starting to run out of traditional Halloween characters!

The Key West Halloween Half Marathon & 5K features 13.1 & 3.1 miles of costume fun! This event is more about fun than anything else! We decided to put a unique spin on the traditional half marathon & 5K event by creating a Halloween & Cotume theme. After the success we have had in Miami Beach, Atlanta, North Carolina & San Juan over the past few years, we decided to branch out and add Key West to the schedule for this themed event. Key West, Halloween & costumes seems like a great marriage! Needless to say we expect all of our particpants to get decked out in some crazy costumes! Both runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome to participate in either distance!
