The Haunted Forest Marathon 2026

The Haunted Forest Marathon Weekend takes place October 25, 2026, in Canal Fulton, Ohio, offering a full marathon (26.2 miles), half marathon (13.1 miles), and 5K. The marathon course begins on road for the first mile, then transitions to hard-packed crushed limestone and blacktop, with 57 feet of total elevation gain over the full distance. Awards are distributed on a rolling basis throughout the morning. Finishers who achieve a Boston Marathon qualifying time receive a second medal, and participants who set a personal best on the course are recognized through the "Smash the PR Pumpkin" activity.
