Beyond the run, the Haunted race embraces the spirit of the season, encouraging participants to don their most creative costumes for a chance to win awards. Every finisher will also be celebrated with a commemorative medal, marking their accomplishment. With no on-site registration available, be sure to secure your spot in advance for this community event that perfectly blends fitness with a touch of Halloween magic.
