Calling all ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses, and wild costumes — it’s time for the most fun run of the spooky season! Join us on October 31st, Halloween morning at 9:00 AM at the Royston Wellness Park for a frightfully fun 1 Mile Halloween Race!
Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just out for a good time, this event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. We highly encourage all participants to show off their Halloween spirit by wearing their best costume because there will be a Costume Contest, so bring your A-game and get creative!
Competitive runners can battle it out for prizes awarded to the top 3 male finishers in each age group and top 3 female finishers in each age group. Every participant will also receive an official event t-shirt and a finisher’s medal to celebrate completing the race.
Grab your friends and family, lace up your running shoes, and come enjoy a morning full of costumes, community, and Halloween fun in Royston!
