From the Organizer
Whether you're chasing a personal best, enjoying a casual jog with friends, or bringing the whole family for a morning of fun, this event has something for everyone. The morning begins at 9:00 a.m. with our Kids Trick-or-Treat Trots. Our youngest runners will race around the Creekside Fountain, followed by a slightly longer race for elementary-aged kids around Creekside Park. Instead of water stations, the kids will enjoy candy stations along the course, and costumes are highly encouraged! At approximately 9:15 a.m., the professionally timed 5K begins. The scenic course follows the beautiful trails along Big Walnut Creek, where you'll enjoy crisp autumn air, colorful leaves, and one of the best running routes in Central Ohio.
Every participant receives a race bib, event T-shirt, and official race time. The fun continues at Creekside Plaza Fountain with music, awards, and a festive post-race celebration. We'll recognize the top three overall male and female finishers, along with prizes for the three best costumes, so don't be afraid to show up dressed for Halloween! Best of all, every registration and sponsorship helps make a difference. Hosted by Three Creeks Church, 100% of the proceeds support Design Outreach and other local and global nonprofit partners serving people in need. Come for the race. Stay for the fun. Leave knowing you helped make an impact. We can't wait to see you at the starting line!
