About the Sprints Wicked Fast Dead Last 5k
This Halloween-themed race runs along Sawyer Point in Cincinnati after dark, so the whole course has that nighttime energy from the gun. Costumes are part of the deal, not just tolerated, and the pace range is genuinely wide. It has the feel of a neighborhood Halloween party that happens to have a timing clock.
The evening keeps going after the finish line, with a live DJ, Halloween photo setups, and a pop-up shop for a limited seasonal collection. Packet pickup and logistics were not spelled out, but the start and finish are both at Sawyer Point, so the footprint is contained.
