Description

Do you love running? Do you love dogs? Whether you like one, the other, or both, this is the event for you! Join us for a lovely day of running or walking at Anson B Nixon Park in Kennett Square, PA. The Halloween Howler offers both a 5k run and a one-mile walk option, and we’re excited to welcome dogs to join on the one-mile walk! So, bring your furry friend along and enjoy a fun, festive day together.
