HAUNTED Provo Friday Night 5K — Fri Oct 30, 2026
A Friday-night 5K in Provo on 30 October 2026, run as the companion race to Saturday's HAUNTED Provo half marathon. New for this season.
New for this season, the Friday Night 5K opens the HAUNTED Provo weekend on 30 October 2026. Running it alongside Saturday's half marathon locks the two finisher medals together.
An evening start suits the format. Costumes photograph better after dark, and a 5K is short enough that a costume survives it.
Worth noting for anyone with children: 30 October is the night a large share of Utah Valley's ward and school trunk-or-treats land, because Halloween itself falls on a Saturday in 2026. A household may have to choose. The wider picture is in the Halloween guide.
