Get your costumes ready to take on HAUNTED Provo!
Start each HAUNTED weekend with a spooky SOLD-OUT Night 5K on Friday!
Kick Saturday morning off with our costume contest at the Half Marathon start line, then earn your spooky ghost medal and bragging rights at Utah’s most spirited Halloween race.
The Half Marathon takes you 13.1 miles down Provo Canyon, through the Spook Alley tunnel, past creepy creatures in the haunted forest and the eerie graveyard, before escaping under the giant pumpkin arch finish.
The morning 5K is short, fast, and full of costume fun — the perfect chance to run (or race) with your crew in full Halloween spirit. The Kids Run lets little ghosts and goblins dash a half-mile and cross the same festive finish line.
Costumes, canyon speed, and spooky bling — HAUNTED Provo is the Halloween run you’ll want to sink your fangs into.
A portion of each registration will be donated to our 2026 charity, 5 FOR THE FIGHT. Learn More

The Top Three Overall Male and Female finishers will be determined by gun time (regular timing). The Age Group awards will be determined by using Chip Time.
- GUN Time is the time elapsed from the sound of the gun to the finish line.
- CHIP Time is the real time from when the runner crosses the starting line to crossing the finish line.
Note: If you alter or damage your chip, your time may not be read correctly. Wear your bib on the outermost layer of clothing on your front side.
