Celebrate Halloween at the Brand-New Bones 5K!

*** Runners need to bring a headlamp for the race ***

Kick off Halloween weekend with a one-of-a-kind nighttime trail race! Put on a costume, grab a headlamp or flashlight and bring the whole family to the inaugural Bones 5K on Oct. 30!

The course features winding single-track trails, sandy sections, root-covered grounds, and beautiful wooded scenery that becomes even more magical at night. The forest will be decorated for Halloween, and while you may run into a few surprises along the way, this event is designed to be family-friendly.

The event includes professional chip timing, prizes, and an unforgettable evening for runners and walkers of all abilities.
