GO St. Louis Halloween 10k and 1 mile Fun Run

The Halloween 10K & Fun Run attracts many of the region's elite runners, along with thousands of runners and walkers of all ages and abilities that dress in costume and compete for fun. Close to 5,000 participants are expected to compete in the 2nd Annual race, making it St. Louis' largest 10K race and one of the largest in Missouri. The event also features a 1-Mile Fun Run that is popular with family and friends. A Halloween costume contest is held post-race and includes special prizes for the winners in the following categories: Most Original, Scariest, Funniest and Best Group.

Participants receive a long-sleeve t-shirt, finisher medal and lots of post-race treats. The course starts and finishes in downtown St. Louis and includes plenty of scary cool things, which add to the festive feel of the event. Prize money for the top finishers and age group awards are provided.

This year, the 10k will be limited to 5,000 participants.

Costume Contest
As part of the event festivities we will have a free costume contest presented by KMOX Radio, for race participants only. We encourage participants to get creative and dress in costume for the race. Simply stop by the costume contest tent, located at the finish line area (Soldier's Memorial) to register. The finalists will be announced at 10 am at the event site. A panel of judges will award prizes in the following categories: Most Original, Scariest, Funniest, Best Group (two or more people), Youth (13 years-old or under) and Best of Show (comprise of the first place winners of all the categories). Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category with the winners receiving gift certificates, gift baskets and tickets.
