About the Belfast Lions Club Ghostly Gallop 5k
The course starts at a high school parking lot and winds through downtown before looping back to where you began. It is a Halloween-themed run, so expect costumes alongside you, which makes the downtown stretch genuinely entertaining. The terrain is paved and the route is short enough that most people are done before the morning gets too far along.
Packet pickup and registration both happen in the lower parking lot at the high school on race morning, before the start. The lot is also where you finish, so there is no shuttle or extra walk at the end.
