About the Event

Step into Halloween weekend with a Friday‑night run through historic Vandalia as the Spirits Run Illinois Adventure Series brings its Halloween Eve 5K to The Copper Penny. This twilight event blends small‑town charm, spooky season energy, and the warm glow of one of Vandalia’s favorite local spots.

Runners and walkers will start and finish at The Copper Penny, heading out on a clean, safe 5K route that winds through the heart of Vandalia. Expect crisp fall air, porch lights flickering on, and just enough Halloween atmosphere to set the tone for the weekend.

Every registration includes:

A county‑specific finisher medal designed for Fayette County
A runner cup for your post‑race celebration
Your Fayette County stamp for the Illinois Adventure Series
Entry into the Copper Penny post‑run gathering
Costumes are encouraged but not required—whether you show up as a ghost, a ghoul, or just yourself, you’ll be part of a festive night run that kicks off Halloween in true Spirits Run style.

Join us for a fun, spirited evening as we celebrate Fayette County, local community, and the magic of Halloween Eve at The Copper Penny.

Join fellow runners on October 30, 2026 for the The Copper Penny Spirits Halloween Eve 5k. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Vandalia.
