About the 2nd Annual Duke's Alehouse Spirits Run 5k/10k
This one starts and ends at a bar and restaurant, which tells you most of what you need to know. The route heads out toward a local cemetery and loops back, and the whole thing runs at dusk, so the light is shifting as you go. Glow gear, lights, and costumes are part of the scene, not an oddity.
After the run, Duke's Alehouse and Kitchen stays open, and a themed drink is part of the post-race gathering. It is the kind of finish where most people stick around for food, a drink, and whatever conversations happen when a cemetery route ends under evening sky.
