Halloween Half - Juneau, AK

The Halloween Half & 5k in Juneau, Alaska, is a festive running event held in late October. Both races start at the Pioneer Road trailhead on North Douglas Highway and follow an out-and-back course. The 5k runners turn around near False Outer Point, while half marathoners continue to Eaglecrest/Fish Creek Road before returning.

The event emphasizes fun over speed, with awards for the best costumes rather than finishing times. Amenities include a food and drink table, porta-potty, and an aid station for half marathoners offering water, Gatorade, snacks, and candy. Participants are advised to prepare for variable late October weather and road conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
