About the Chelsea Boo Run and 5K
The race is put on by the high school cross country and track teams as a community service project, and it lands on Halloween, so costumes on the course are common. The shorter kids' run follows the main race, keeping the morning a family affair from start to finish.
After the racing wraps up, decorated cars fill the parking lot for trick-or-treating, which tends to hold the crowd well past the finish line. The start and finish are at the high school, so parking and restrooms are close.
