Dress to distress—or make us laugh! Bring your Halloween imagination to life and compete for prizes for the scariest, funniest, most creative, and best group/team costumes. Gather your crew and give the crowd something to scream about! Cash prizes awarded to the winners in select costume categories.
🎶 Beats to Raise Your Spirits
Our live DJ will keep the Halloween party going with spooky favorites and high-energy hits. From your first nervous steps to your finish-line celebration, we’ll help keep your spirits up!
🐈⬛ Black Cat Alley
The little monsters deserve treats, too! Black Cat Alley returns with a trick-or-treat adventure for children ages 12 and under of registered race participants.
