Prepare to raise your spirits—and your pace, in Nashville’s Two Rivers Park (3150 McGavock Pike), when the Spooky Sprint rolls out a Halloween‑themed lineup of races including 5K, 10K, half marathon, 1‑mile, Kid’s Dash, and virtual options.
Event History & Format
Hosted by Bodies Race Company, the Spooky Sprint is part of its seasonal Holiday Series, which also includes Turkey Trails and Candy Cane Course events. While relatively new in Nashville, the format is consistent with the brand’s popular themed runs in other cities.
Course & Atmosphere
Set on paved roads through Two Rivers Park, the half marathon uses out‑and‑back loops around park trails and greenways. Expect chip timing with live results, free race photos, and friendly costuming crowds. At the finish line, participants enjoy free treats—including donuts, and festive swag: designer shirt and custom medal for each distance.
What Makes It Unique
This race delivers Halloween fun more than timing perfection. While competitive runners are welcome, the focus is on community, costumes, candy stops, and a family-friendly experience. Early registration (two Thursdays before race day) guarantees swag, while youth pricing—12 and under for the 5K/10K is only $20.83—encourages family participation.
Spooky Sprint also partners with Rosedale International, allowing participants to support global outreach efforts as part of registration donations.
