About this race
Join us on October 17th, 2026 at 7PM for the Frackville Fright to benefit the Hillside SPCA of Pottsville.
The Frackville Fright will begin and end at the Goodwill Fire Company, Frackville. This will be a night run so bring your flashlights and glow sticks! The course will take you through the rolling streets of Frackville. There will be gentle inclines, some not so gentle inclines, with a downhill finish. This event is open to all ages and abilities. Walkers are welcome! Come dressed in your scariest, funniest, or group costumes for a chance to win some prizes! Top 3 overall runners will receive unique Frackville Fright awards as well as the top 2 in each age group. We will be accepting monetary and supply donations for the SPCA at the event. Check out the Hillside SPCA Wish List for items to donate.
