Details
This live fun run is organized with age-appropriate heats that begin at 11:00 am on the open grass field located on Pier A in Hoboken, New Jersey.
The approximate race course length is 100 meters. We shorten the course for our youngest runners.
Registered children are encouraged to run in their favorite Halloween costumes! (Kids costumes are excluded from the broader costume judging event.)
Please note: This is a different race and a separate registration from the 5K. The Scary Scurry is untimed, participants will not receive medals, and the race is weather permitting.
