The Experience
The Runtastic HAUNTED Provo Half Marathon transforms Provo Canyon into a Halloween spectacle. Runners embark on a 13.1-mile journey down the scenic canyon, passing through themed areas like Spook Alley and a graveyard before finishing in Provo. This event, first run in 2009 and now in its 17th edition, has become a favorite for its festive atmosphere.
With a median field size of around 3,000 finishers, the race draws participants from approximately 32 states, underscoring its appeal as a destination event. While the field size has seen a recent dip, an 18% repeat-runner rate speaks to the loyalty this Halloween celebration inspires. The course is noted for its flat profile and offers a fast, certified path, making it a prime location for setting personal bests, especially for those looking to qualify for Boston. Runners can also opt for a 5K or a Kids Run, ensuring a full weekend of holiday fun for the entire family.
