About the Ghosts and Goblins 1M/5K Walk/Run
The courses start and finish at Carmel High School, where the parking lot serves as the hub of the event. There are distance options for shorter and longer runs, both timed, and strollers are welcome on either. Costumes seem to be the spirit of the morning, given the name.
After the run, there is music, refreshments, and entertainment at the finish area. Prizes go out by age category for the longer distance. The race benefits the Carmel Education Foundation and supports local students.
