Get your costumes ready to take on the Provo HAUNTED Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids Run!
Kick things off with our costume contest at the Half Marathon start line, then earn your creepy-crawly spider 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 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 gives little ghosts and goblins a chance to dash a half-mile and cross the same festive finish line.
Costumes, canyon speed, and spider bling — Provo HAUNTED is the Halloween run you’ll want to sink your fangs into.
RUNNING FOR A CAUSE
Runtastic is honored to again partner with the charity 5 FOR THE FIGHT, a 501c3 nonprofit that invites everyone to give $5 for the fight against cancer. Runtastic will donate a portion of each Provo HAUNTED registration to 5FTF.

BIBS & TIMING BY THE RACE TIME
The Provo HAUNTED Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids Run will be professionally timed. The chips will be attached to the back of your bib number. Please don’t wrinkle or stuff the bib in your pocket.
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.

Results are available in the following ways:

Note: If you alter or damage your chip, your time may not be read correctly. Wear your bib on the outermost layer of clothing.
