About this race
Join us at Indian Fields Tavern/5 Fields Brewing Co. to celebrate the spooky season and burn off some calories with old and new friends!
Your entry fee will get you an official race time, a finisher's medal, and a finish-line beer to celebrate your accomplishment.
We're offering a 5k and a 10k. Choose your distance! All paces are welcome, and we promise we won't judge how much Halloween candy you're planning to eat by the distance you choose to run.
There will also be a costume judging contest at 8:30am, before the races start.
Event Details:
8:00 am - Packet Pickup starts
8:30am - Costume judging contest
9:00 am - Races start
Please note that we will be releasing people 1-3 at a time, so that we don't overwhelm the Capital Trail. Your time won't start until you cross the starting mat, and it will end when you cross the mat in victory to celebrate with your well deserved race medal and post-race refreshment.
