The first 500 registered will receive a free ticket to the Walk in the Dark at Shoreline Park Haunted House, good for any day! (Adult tickets sell for $10 at the event)

All participants who register will receive a custom finisher's medal. All participants who register by Sept. 30 will receive a custom finisher's medal and a t-shirt. T-shirts are not guaranteed if you register after Sept. 30.   

Location: 9993 Wilson Ave. in the Logistics Center Area

Packet Pick-Up: 6-7:45 pm

Sponsorship booths issuing extra "lives": 5-7:45 pm

Not-so-Scary 1K: 8 pm

Face Your Fears 5K: 8:30 pm. Participants may be released in waves depending on participation numbers. Updates will be provided to participants prior to the race.

Runners should be present at least 1 hour prior to start for check-in and obtaining extra “lives” (flag football flags). 

Costume contest: We will have a costume contest for the following categories - "Creepiest Costume" and "Is that really a costume?"

You will get one life with your registration. You will have opportunities to gain up to three additional lives by visiting our sponsorship booths.  

Photo opportunities will be at the end of the 5K. We will bring all the monsters back to the race hub to pose for pictures with the participants. This is not a one-on-one photo opportunity. This is a chance to get a custom photo with multiple monsters lurking behind you.
