About the race
The Haunted Half Marathon & Relay in Kingsport, Tennessee is a Halloween-themed running event that includes a half marathon, team relay, a one-mile Monster Mile and a virtual option. The event is organized as part of a series that includes other half marathons and was recognized by Runner’s World in 2015 as one of the notable half marathons in the U.S. Race logistics include packet pickup at the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce on the day before and the morning of the event. The course will be marked with arrow stickers and event signs, and officers and volunteers will be present.
Shuttle service will be available near the start and finish area. Some roads and parking lots will be closed; the Food City and Farmers Market lots are not available for event parking and designated parking areas will be identified. Relay exchange locations are provided along the course, including Lamont Greenbelt Access, Holston Valley Drive Trailhead, and Boat Yard Landing Trailhead. Water will be provided on course by Healthy Kingsport.
The event features a costume contest, age-group and overall awards across multiple categories, and awards for relay teams and best costumes. A virtual option allows participants to submit GPS-tracked results and receive race items by pickup, local collection, or mail. The organizer maintains a no-refund policy with options to transfer entries, switch to the virtual option, or defer to the next year; limited refunds may incur a service fee before a specified date.
