ABOUT THIS RACE:
Race Starting Location:

The Spookasaurus is a Running race in Orlando, Florida consisting of a Half Marathon and Marathon and 10K and 5K.
PLEASE read all the race info before deciding to sign up! We are unapologetically unconventional, so if you're looking for a typical race - this isn't it!!
When dinosaurs and Halloween collide, the Spookasaurus comes out!
Grab your most fun-loving friends and join us for food, fun, friendship, and a little running or walking through the park. With distances up to half marathon there's something for everyone to enjoy!
Our races are super low-key and non-competitive; we'd prefer to race you vs. you. Feel free to run, walk, or prance around; there is no running police here! We do post results though, so these races qualify for 50 States Marathon Club, 50 States Half Marathon Club, Marathon Maniacs, and Half Fanatics.
There is an 8 hour time limit for all distances. We don't care if you're fast or if you're slow, we just care that you have a good time!
Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag, finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup including Gatorade, water, energy gels, salty snacks, sugary candy of all kinds, and fun treats! The food doesn't stop when you're done running though! Post race treats will help balance out all that mid-race sugar.
Your entry fee also gets you access to our award-winning crew that will not only ring cowbells but give out high fives and provide unparalleled support. Whether you need a blister taped up or an encouraging hug or some tough love, the heart of any Awesomesauce operation is our race director and staff. This is a great race to nab that distance PR you've always wanted, with a supportive and fun atmosphere that will help you enjoy every mile!
The course is a paved 5K loop at Bill Frederick Park. You will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times throughout the race. Wait - what?! We are running in loops? Yep! The beauty of a looped course means that no dinosaur is ever alone; everyone gets to party together! This also means you're welcome to leave a drop bag to access your own personal goodies and you can shed layers as you warm up, and you can reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, etc. Due to the nature of this event, there is a strict cap of runners, so we recommend registering EARLY.
Shirts are NOT included in your race fee. We do give out race swag, it's just tradition for Awesomesauce races to give out swag that isn't a shirt. We also have lots of fun shirts available for purchase, and buying them in conjunction with your race registration hooks you up with the lowest available pricing. Any extras will be available for purchase on race day.
Run this race AND Born to Be a Unicorn in March and earn a third Awesomesauce medal!
