Halloween Run Bremen 2026
On October 31, 2026, it's time again: Running shoes on and costumes out! We are celebrating the sixth edition of the spooky Halloween Run Bremen! The start and finish area is located between the Finnbahn at the Werdersee and the grill meadow / the DLRG rescue station. Information on how to get there can be found here.
The Halloween Run Bremen is a proud member of the Bremer Laufserie (Bremen Running Series) from 2025 onwards! This means that by participating in this event, you can collect points for the overall ranking of the series and compete with other Bremen runs for the title of the running series. For more information on the Bremen Running Series, visit bremer-laufserie.de.
To participate in the Bremen Running Series, register for the Silvesterlauf Bremen 2026. There you can optionally add participation in the Bremen Running Series! Registration for the Silvesterlauf starts on December 31, 2025 – the perfect start for an exciting season! More information can be found at bremer-laufserie.de.
Your Halloween Courses: Splatterthon, Monsterthon, Evilthon, Halbevilthon & Spuklauf
Whether you fancy a short spooky lap or want to face the ultimate marathon of terror – we have the perfect course for you:
- Splatterthon: 42.195 kilometers – the complete marathon for true endurance monsters!
- Monsterthon: 25 kilometers – the ultimate Halloween challenge!
- Evilthon: 16.666 kilometers – only for the bravest!
- Halbevilthon: 8.333 kilometers – spooky and fast!
- Spuklauf: 1000 meters – for the little ghosts.
Attention, monsters and undead! For 2026, we are making dark plans: The Halloween Run Bremen could move directly from the Werdersee to the Bremen city center. Should this succeed, the courses would change as follows: Halbevilthon 8.333 K → 6.66 K, Evilthon 16.666 K → 13.33 K, and Monsterthon 25 K → 26.66 K. The Splatterthon 42.195 K would unfortunately be swallowed by the dark forces and disappear without replacement. Nothing has been decided yet – but the witches, zombies, and vampires of our organizational team are already working on it. Stay tuned!
Important note: For all registrations from 01.06.2026 onwards, registration simultaneously constitutes agreement to the possible route and competition changes described above in the event that the move to the Bremen city center is implemented.
A spooky circuit awaits you!
The 8.333 km long circuit for Monsterthon, Evilthon, and Halbevilthon is measured according to the rules of the German Athletics Federation e.V. (DLV). Your achieved performances can therefore be included in the best list. The Spuklauf takes place on a 1 km privately measured circuit.
Award Ceremony & Fireworks
- The award ceremony for the Spuklauf will take place immediately after crossing the finish line. For all other distances, the award ceremony will take place later.
- A spectacular fireworks display awaits you at the end from 6:00 PM – a spooky highlight to appropriately round off the Halloween Run Bremen 2026!
Run in costume – it'll be spooky!
What would Halloween be without spooky costumes? We look forward to seeing as many participants as possible in costume at the start! But don't worry – if you prefer it simple or want to be fast, you can of course also compete in normal sportswear.
