Halloween Half - Juneau, AK

The Halloween Half & 5k in Juneau, Alaska, is a festive running event held in late October, featuring a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5k race. Both races start at the Pioneer Road trailhead at the north end of North Douglas Highway and follow an out-and-back course toward False Outer Point. The half marathon continues further to Eaglecrest/Fish Creek Road before turning back.

The event emphasizes fun over speed, awarding prizes for the best costumes rather than race times. Amenities include a food and drink table, porta-potties, and an aid station for half marathoners. Participants are advised to prepare for variable late October weather and exercise caution on the road shoulders. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
