The Experience

The Haunted 5K, 10K & 13.1M takes place in Temple, Texas, offering a straightforward out-and-back course designed for speed. Runners can expect a flat profile with minimal elevation change, making it a prime location for achieving personal bests. The race begins next to the Wilson Park Recreation Center, with a 3.5-hour time limit to complete the half marathon.

This event, now in its third year, is part of a series that includes 5K and 10K distances, all utilizing the same out-and-back format. The half marathon involves completing the course four times. While specific details on field size and geographic draw are not provided, the series aims to provide a competitive running experience for participants seeking a fast, certified course.

Finisher medals, shirts, and gear are available, along with awards for top finishers and a special prize for the best costume.

Race-provided description

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
