The remainder of October is packed with spooky-themed fun, challenging trail adventures, and a mix of road races that keep the running community moving through fall. From ultra-endurance events like the Dia De Los Muertos runs in Newport and Suttle Lake Trailfest, to family-friendly Halloween-themed runs, there’s something for every pace and interest.
Whether you’re chasing distance, racing for a cause, or just getting into the Halloween spirit, the final weekends of October offer plenty of opportunities to lace up and hit the road—or the trail.
