Spookasaurus (formerly Kooky Not Spooky), An Awesomesauce Event presented by Run Chattanooga

Chattanooga, TN
What's better than running by yourself? Putting on a costume and running (or walking!) with a bunch of crazy fun people, that's what! Celebrate Halloween with us, running, walking, prancing, parading along the beautiful Tennessee River, with a bunch of the funnest people you've ever met, and of course, tons of candy! The course is basically completely flat, on a paved path that meanders by the Chickamauga Dam, behind the campus of Chattanooga State, and alongside the Tennessee River. We have toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap. Because fighting with your costume in a port-o-potty sounds like a recipe for disaster. You will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times throughout the race. This means you're welcome to leave a drop bag to access your own personal goodies and you can shed layers as you warm up. This is also a good place to reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, etc. The race is super low-key and non-competitive; we'd prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else. It's a group run type atmosphere, just with finish times and medals at the end! There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances. Walkers are welcome! Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag, finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup including Gatorade, water, Gu, and snacks and post-race food. We promise we will keep you full of all the candy you need to pre-game for the big night! As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. Prices are subject to change. The races will go on rain, snow, or shine. Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory. This is a family event, so please keep your costume kid-friendly! We recommend doing a training run or two in your costume. We're happy to assist with first aid for chafing, but it's a lot easier if you are ready for it, instead of discovering it a couple of miles in! Strollers are welcome, just be responsible in your use of your stroller!

Upper Cumberland Haunted Half Marathon

Cookeville, TN
Join us for the 19th annual Haunted Half Marathon, Relay & 5K October 24th! Runners will enjoy seeing the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee, this Halloween-themed race takes runners on a loop course through the small city of Cookeville, where runners and walkers will start the race on the campus of Tennessee Tech University. From the starting line near the intersection of North Dixie Avenue and B Street on the Tennessee Tech campus, runners head south on what is basically a clockwise loop through the city’s downtown and out into some of the more rural areas just outside town. Runners make their way through mostly city streets and retail shops in the first couple of miles and then head into more residential neighborhoods in the later miles. As mentioned above, the Haunted Half Marathon, Relay & 5K is open to both runners and walkers, provided they can reach the finish line within 3 hours — which means for half-marathon and relay teams they’ll need to maintain a pace of 13.8 minutes per mile or better. The race route will be closed after 3 hours, which means no police or ambulance services will be present on the road route. The finish line will stay open till 10:30 am. This requires a 13.8 minute-per-mile page or faster. Runners who don’t want to cover all 13.1 miles of the race themselves should know the race also features a three-person relay event. The first leg of the race is 4 miles, followed by the second leg (4.7 miles) and the third leg, which is 4.4 miles. If you prefer a 5K run, we have that too! 5K runners will start from the same start line and finish line, as well as the first mile of the half marathon. Entrants must be at least 12 years of age on the day of the race to participate in the half marathon or 10 years of age on the day of the race to participate in the 5k and have a guardian sign the race liability form. Race Weather & Climate Located along the Upper Cumberland Plateau of eastern Tennessee, about 80 miles east of Nashville and roughly 100 miles northwest of Knoxville, Cookeville typically sees mild to moderately warm weather in October, while rainfall totals average just over 3.4 inches for the month, making October the city’s driest month of the year. On race day (Oct. 24), the average low is 42ºF and the average high is 69ºF.

Night Serpent 5k

Eads, TN
When the sun goes down, the trail comes alive. Welcome to the Night Serpent 5K, a nighttime trail race unlike anything else on your race calendar. Held on private property in Eads, TN, runners will take on a dark, wooded trail filled with twists, turns, shadows—and a few things waiting for you along the way. This isn’t just a 5K in the dark. It’s a full haunted trail-running experience. 6:00 PM — The Serpent Sleeps 5k Our earlier race offers the excitement of the Night Serpent with a less intense, haunted experience. Runners 10 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our haunted creatures will be positioned throughout the course, but they'll remain still as runners pass. 8:00 PM — The Serpent Awakens 5k When darkness takes over, so do the trails. The 8:00 PM race is reserved for ages 16+ and delivers the full Night Serpent experience. Our haunted creatures won't just be hiding in the woods anymore—they'll come alive. Expect darkness. Expect surprises. Expect your heart rate to climb for reasons that have nothing to do with your pace. No haunted creature will intentionally touch a runner, but we can't promise they won't make you run a little faster. Bring a headlamp, bring your courage, and come experience 3.1 miles after dark. Two races. One haunted trail. One unforgettable night. NIGHT SERPENT 5K October 30, 2026 | Eads, Tennessee Space will be limited for both races.

Hosted by Milestones Therapy and Wellness and the Mother-Baby Nutrition Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, this event brings our community together to celebrate inclusion, movement, and every child's unique journey. Whether you're running for a personal record, walking with family, or cheering on participants, your registration directly supports children and families by helping fund MTW therapy scholarships, as well as other approved developmental and medical needs. Race day will include a timed 5K Run/Walk, a Kids' 100-Meter Dash/Run/Roll/Stroll, an inclusive Trick-or-Treat experience, and, of course, a costume contest! Are you an MTW Family or running it as an community supporter? Families who have completed an intensive through Milestones Therapy and Wellness are invited to create Family Teams. Friends, relatives, coworkers, and community members can join their team or make a donation to help them reach their fundraising goal. Funds raised by each Family Team are held by the Mother-Baby Nutrition Foundation and may be used for approved expenses such as therapy services, adaptive equipment, medical devices, and other qualifying developmental needs in accordance with Foundation policies. Community Supporters: Not part of an MTW Family Team? You can still make a lasting impact. Your registration, donations, and race proceeds help launch the MTW Scholarship Fund, providing therapy intensive scholarships for families who otherwise could not access care. Families we have not yet had the opportunity to serve will be able to apply for these scholarships beginning in 2027. Every dollar helps remove financial barriers and gives another child the opportunity to reach their next milestone.
