Spooky Sprint - Grand Rapids

Bring your family to this festive running event designed to welcome participants of all abilities and paces. The day kicks off with packet pickup at 6:30 am, followed by a special kids' dash at 7:55 am where younger runners are guided to the starting line. The main race begins at 8 am with the national anthem. Whether your child wants to participate in the kids' dash or family members tackle the 5K, 10K, half marathon, or casual 1-mile option, there's something for everyone. Every participant receives a designer shirt, custom finisher medal, and chip-timing so you can see live results right away. The finish line experience includes complimentary photos and snacks to celebrate your accomplishment. Kids aged 12 and under enjoy especially affordable pricing at just $17 for the 5K and 10K distances. If your child prefers to run without the race package, they can participate in the kids' dash for free. Register by the Thursday two weeks before race day to guarantee your shirt, and plan to arrive early to pick up your race packet.
