About this event
If a single race isn't enough to satisfy your Emerald Coast adventure, the Wicked Triple Fun Run is your weekend. This one-of-a-kind Halloween-themed running event challenges participants to tackle three races across two days in Fort Walton Beach — a 10K Saturday morning, a twilight 5K Saturday evening, and a half marathon Sunday morning — for a combined 24.1 miles of coastal running that earns you triple the medals and double the bragging rights.
The courses weave through Fort Walton Beach's charming downtown neighborhoods, along the bayou, and past the waterfront, offering scenic views without the tourist-season crowds. The sunset 5K in particular is a crowd favorite, launching in the golden hour light along Beachview Drive in Cinco Bayou as evening color washes across the water. All proceeds benefit the maintenance of the rubberized track facility at Fort Walton Beach High School — a community investment every step of the way.
You don't have to run all three to join the fun. Single-race registration is available, and the festive Halloween-costume tradition is entirely optional (but enthusiastically encouraged). Grab your witch hat or zombie gear and make a weekend of it — Fort Walton Beach's Landing district and Harbor area are just minutes away for post-race dining, cold drinks, and well-earned celebration.
Best for: Runners, fitness enthusiasts, Halloween fans, competitive athletes seeking a multi-race challenge
What to expect: Three races across two days (10K, sunset 5K, half marathon); Halloween costumes welcome; community atmosphere; proceeds benefit local school athletic facilities
Planning tip: Register for all three races at once for the best value — the Wicked Triple package typically includes a special combined medal. Book accommodations on the Fort Walton Beach side of the Destin area to minimize morning commute time.
Cost: Registration fees vary by race distance; Wicked Triple (all three) package available at a discount
