Scary Ass 25K / 14K and Fright in the Forest 4K
The event takes place on October 31, 2026 at the Fall Creek Day Use Area in Capitol Forest. Organizers list multiple trail distances and note that final routes are pending because of logging activity in the forest.
Distances offered:
- 25K long course to the peak
- 14K (about 9 miles) shorter course not going to the peak
- 4K Fright in the Forest short course
There is no aid on course, so participants must carry their own water and fuel. Courses will be marked. A DNR waiver is required for all participants and a separate under‑18 waiver is provided for minors. Parking requires a Discover Pass and roadside parking on the shoulder may be necessary.
Entry fees listed are $23.75 for the longer trail distances and $13.12 for the 4K. Registration is available online only, with no day‑of registration; registration closes the Thursday before the event at midnight. Costumes are recommended and prizes include pumpkin pie for winners and best costumes. At the finish there will be Witch’s Brew, soup, and treat bags.
