## Description

Welcome to the 6th Annual Haunted Forest Marathon Weekend

Family Friendly / Themed event featuring a Full Marathon (26.2 miles), a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), and 5K (3.1 miles).

First mile on the road / remainder of the race on hard packed crushed limestone and blacktop. Marathon has a total of 57 feet of elevation over the 26.2 mile distance!

A GREAT Boston Qualifier which includes a SECOND medal if you qualify on race day. 18% of our 2025 Marathon participants qualified for Boston.

AWARDS handed out on a rolling basis throughout the morning

NEW 5K course that is MUCH FASTER!

Don't forget our "Smash the PR PUMPKIN" activity if you run a personal best on our course.

5K AND HALF SOLD OUT

What that means: the number of medals and bibs for those events equals the number of registered runners. 
Will someone not show up? Probably but we won't know that until everyone crosses the starting line.
Marathoners that drop down to the Half Marathon will receive the Marathon medal. We will reclassify the runner as a Half Finisher.
