The concept for the Halloween Half Marathon & Freaky 4-Miler was born in early 2009. We were looking for a unique “hook” to add into a traditional running event. We figured there were plenty of running events out there so we wanted to create a unique experience for the runners. The answer came in the form of a nudge from the special events team from Miami Beach. They asked us if we would be willing to stage an event in the newly renovated South Pointe Park in October. The light bulb in our heads lit up once the October timeframe came into play…. Halloween! Even as adults, when the calendar turns the page to October, Halloween comes to mind. The marriage of Halloween, costume themes, and a running event quickly came together! From the outset we decided that each year would feature a different traditional Halloween character. The artwork for the event, the medals, and the shirt would incorporate the Halloween character. To date we have used bats, vampires, skeletons, zombies, and werewolves. We are starting to run out of traditional Halloween characters!The Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon & Freaky 4-Miler is a costume and Halloween themed event that adds a unique twist to the traditional running event. Our event celebrates all things Halloween! We encourage our participants to come dressed in the costume of your choice! Each year most of the runners & walkers tackle the 13.1 or 4 mile courses decked out in full costume! Some of the more popular costume category themes…
