Spooky Bluff 5K Run/Walk

Description

Join us for the 2nd Annual Spooky Bluff 5K Run/Walk! 🎃 We invite you and your ghostly friends to show up in the Halloween spirit! If you're feeling festive, feel free to dress up in your favorite costume! 👻 This will be a chip-timed 5K for runners and walkers of all ages, taking place at the Lime Bluff Recreational Park. Run or walk along the lighted course and finish under our lighted Halloween inflatable! There will be hot chocolate, coffee, apple cider, water, and snack foods available before and after the race, along with music! All pre-registered participants will receive a long-sleeve event shirt, custom Spooky Bluff themed race bib, finisher medal, candy treat bag, and food! We are encouraging everyone to get a little exercise before winter hits, in the means of spooky fun! GLOW STICKS will also be provided to all participants! 🚨

THIS EVENT IS CAPPED AT 350 PARTICIPANTS.

NEW THIS YEAR!

We are adding a Virtual division for those who are unable to attend or just want the merch without physically attending the event. This means you still need to run or walk a 5K, but at your own time and anywhere you'd like. Your 5K must be completed between September 1st and October 19th. Virtual participants will receive a long-sleeve event shirt, candy treat bag, and a finisher medal (only if you submit proof of doing a 5K distance - you may also submit your time if you would like to be included on the online results). Times can be submitted through the Contact button. We will start shipping packets mid October.

By our choice, this race will again benefit The Lime Bluff Recreational Area, which is a park maintained by volunteers - it is open to the public offering walking paths, a softball field, playground area, bocce ball court, horse shoe pits, pavilion, and disc golf course. By donating a portion of our race proceeds to the park, this will allow Wolf Township to bring more activities for the children and updates to the park for the community.

5. Turn LEFT onto Elm Drive and follow the road out to the stop sign at the intersection of Lime Bluff Road.

6. Make a U-TURN at Lime Bluff Road and follow Elm Drive back to the entrance of the park.
